Legislators have until May 6 to pass or reject laws with lasting impact on your students and your livelihood—and they need a push from you. Join us Wednesday, April 8, for CEA Lobby Day at the State Capitol to help move teacher priorities forward.
Lobby Day starts at 2 p.m. and runs through the afternoon, so join us after your school day is over. Lobby Day provides the perfect opportunity to talk with your legislators and make sure they know why providing teachers with a fair process in termination hearings, ensuring privacy protections for teachers, banning cell phones from schools, providing stipends for student teachers, and increasing education funding are so important.
Never lobbied before? CEA staff will be on hand to walk you through the process, provide talking points, and connect you with your legislators. All you need are your stories about what you see in your classroom every day.
“It makes a big difference when legislators hear directly from their teacher constituents,” says CEA President Kate Dias. “Come out and make your voice heard.”
Join together with other Connecticut teachers on April 8 to speak out and make a lasting difference for our profession.
