Get Ready for PTA Advocacy in 2021-2022

​Calling all Advocates!

It's time to get started on PTA Advocacy for the 2021-2022 school year.

Here are 6 Advocacy Action Items to add to your PTA's back to school list of things to do:

1. Recruit an Advocacy Chair(s) for your PTA/PTSA. (Sometimes called a Legislative Chair).
2. Make sure that your Advocacy Chair(s) is listed in memberplanet as well as updated with Council.
3. Have your Advocacy Chair (and anyone else on your board who is interested in advocacy work!) join Council's Advocacy Facebook Group.
4. Attend a PTA training(s). PTA training is great for everyone on your board (and required for all elected officers). Coming up is WSPTA's Autumn Leadership Launch. For more training opportunities, visit our training calendar.
5. Keep up to date on PTA issues by Subscribing to WSPTA's Action Network Group - Action Network.
6. Visit our Advocacy page to learn even more!

 
Bonus Advocacy Action Item: Let’s Vote Challenge! National Voter Registration Day is September 28th! Did you know that Local PTAs/PTSAs can run voter registration drives? You can also include the graphic below in your e-news and on social media to encourage your members to register to vote! For WA state, voter information and registration can be found at http://vote.wa.gov/ and is provided in multiple languages!
