Engage: PTA Advocacy

Legislative Assembly is over, but advocacy is ongoing!

Here are three things you can do to stay engaged in PTA advocacy:

1. Make sure you are signed up for advocacy information and action alerts through the WSPTA Action Network Group.

2. Familiarize yourself with Washington State PTA's updated legislative platform:

• Washington State PTA Advocacy - short-term Issues offer focus to our state-wide advocacy work for the upcoming legislative session.
  
• Washington State PTA Resolutions - long-term Resolutions guide our ongoing advocacy work from the local to the state level across a variety of areas.
  
• Washington State PTA's 2019-2020 Legislative Priorities (pdf) - check out our current Top 5 issues as well as also-supported issues.
  

3. Mark your calendar now for Focus Day: January 20, 2020, a day of advocacy in Olympia. Join fellow PTA/PTSA advocates in Olympia to meet with legislators, tour the capitol, and demonstrate advocacy in action. Want to ride in style and comfort for free? Let us know that you want to join Northshore Council’s Focus Day Transportation.

RSVP for your ride to Olympia on January 20, 2020!
