Colleagues, please join the National Skills Coalition, COABE, and the National Coalition for Literacy for this timely  forum. The interactive format will encourage submission of questions and observations from participants.

Adult Education Forum on Capitol Hill’s Covid-19 Response

Thursday, June 4, 3:00 PM Eastern

Things
are changing fast on Capitol Hill. In March, Congress passed a major $2
trillion Covid relief package known as the
CARES Act. Next, the House passed an even bigger bill, known as the
HEROES Act -- but members of the Senate are working on their own bills and timeline.
What does all this mean for adult education? How can adult educators
weigh in with federal policymakers and their states
to advocate for dedicated funding? How does adult educators' expertise
in digital literacy and online learning fit into these conversations?
Join us for a frank conversation with federal policy experts about
what's happening in Washington and how YOU can take
action. Bring your stories and your questions!
