TEXAS -- Today, U.S. Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke announced the launch of a college and university tour across the state to discuss his vision for the future of Texas with students. The “Fight for our Future” campus tour continues O’Rourke’s commitment to showing up everywhere, for everyone, every single day. His people-powered campaign for the U.S. Senate has already traveled to universities and colleges throughout Texas. He has held town halls and rallies at dozens of campuses, centered around the issues that are important to young people. O’Rourke will speak to thousands of students at 12 campuses during his week-long tour, starting with an event at Austin Community College.

“It’s young people who are leading the charge to define the future of Texas and the future of our country,” said O’Rourke. “Whether it’s healthcare, climate change, higher education, immigration, justice reform or ensuring everyone is treated with dignity and respect, students are core to this moment and it’s our responsibility to follow their lead, listen to their voices and make their ideas part of this campaign.”
