JHS PTSA Advocacy Resources
2022/2023
IMPORTANT DATES:
We need your stories, we need your voice, and we need you! Help make PTA’s grassroots advocacy a success by connecting with legislators about our priorities during Focus Day and Focus on Advocacy Week.
Focus on Advocacy Week is scheduled for February 6-10, 2023. During this week, members can participate in daily calls to actions. Subscribe to WSPTA Action Network
Focus Day will be February 20, 2023, in Olympia and members are encouraged to meet with their legislators about our 2023-2024 Legislative Priorities. Use the resources in the toolkit below to make appointments and plan successful meetings.
Advocacy is not a one-day event; it is an everyday action. And so, we encourage members to continue to stay informed and engaged throughout the year, keeping our efforts focused on the mission. #WSPTAOneVoice
