Asylum seekers want to work. Employers need workers. It isn’t complicated. I'll be reintroducing my Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act to reduce the waiting period from 180 days to 30 days so that new Mainers can support their families + contribute to our communities.

🗓️TOMORROW: Join the Lab, @IRAP, @NASHTS3, @WorldEdServices & @PresImmAlliance at 3PM ET/12PM PT for “Limited Access: The Landscape of In-State Tuition for Displaced Students.” Register here: bit.ly/tuitionaccess
Granting displaced people access to in-state tuition allows them to build or re-credential their skills, so they can contribute to their new communities. @RefugeeAdvcyLab published a vital resource on each state's policies, with research from @UMichLaw's @IRAP chapter.
In-state tuition access is severely limited across the U.S. for forcibly displaced people. Barriers to in-state tuition are barriers to a better future. Check out @RefugeeAdvcyLab's in-state tuition tracker for more details: bddy.me/3OnzA9l
