Washington State PTA Advocacy Week January 18 – 22, 2021 The Washington State Legislature convened a new virtual legislative session on January 11th. Its main goal will be to put together a budget for the next 4 years. WSPTA and local PTAs will be working together to advocate on behalf of children and families, with a focus on our new legislative platform. We will be asking members to take action and advocate from home throughout our annual Advocacy Week. To participate and stay informed, subscribe to the WSPTA Action Network. Your Stories Needed During the 2021 Legislative Session The Washington PTA (WSPTA) has a fantastic legislative platform for 2021, and we need your help to advocate for it. During the current virtual legislative session, you can testify virtually from home, or in writing. Personal stories can send a powerful message to lawmakers. If you have a story to tell that aligns with our legislative platform, please reach out to your PTSA Vice President, Natalya Yudkovsky. She can provide you with all the support you need from WSPTA to successfully testify.
