#IncludeBeauty: Take Action Today!
We are facing a serious present threat in the U.S. Congress from ideologically driven, punitive language contained in the College Affordability Act, a House bill recently approved in Committee on October 31 by the Democrat leadership of the House Education and Labor Committee. The bill is the most comprehensive legislative attack we have seen on the cosmetology sector due to multiple damaging provisions directed at for-profit colleges.
AACS has launched the #IncludeBeauty campaign to draw attention to these harmful provisions in the House bill and their impact on cosmetology schools. Members of Congress need to hear from you, your students and employees who care about the future of cosmetology schools as they determine their position on this bill.
You can help by communicating directly with Members of Congress to oppose the House College Affordability Act, and ask your employees and students to do so too. Letter templates and instructions are available here.
