National Coalition for Literacy Discussion List
View all threadsHello everyone,
This Wednesday is normally our public policy call. However, instead of the monthly call, we encourage everyone to attend the Adult Education Forum on Capitol Hill's COVID-19 Response this Thursday, June 4, at 3:00 p.m. ET.
A description of the webinar and link for registration is below.
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!

Thank you,
