I could not agree more with you, Deborah! We need to continue to raise our visibility with legislators to ensure funding is not cut during these critical times. As you all know, setting up meetings with your legislators while they are home on August recess is a great way to do just that. COABE has a number of tools to share with you which you can access here as you prepare to reach out to your legislator: https://adultedresource.coabe.org/forums/forum/learning-forum/national-public-awareness-campaign/

Please let us know here if and when you have set up a meeting with your legislator: http://coabe.capwiz.com/coabe/lrm/feedback.tt?event=58814

Additionally, since February 2017, COABE members have made over 15,000 contacts to over 400 legislators! We want to keep up this important work. Please send this out to your members encouraging them to make a simple call or send a quick email to their legislator on behalf of adult education. http://cqrcengage.com/coabe/home?0

Thanks so much, and let us know if we can help in any way!

Kind Regards,

Sharon Bonney

Everyone, please do take advantage of the August recess to contact your Senators and Representatives at their state offices to advocate for adult education!

Hi everyone,

Congress is on recess for August so we’ve decided the NCL Public Policy call will be on recess also! We’ll talk to everyone again on Wednesday, September 6th.

Hope everyone is enjoying summer!
