Advocacy Matters
Oftentimes, people ask me why they should join PTA. They’re afraid they will be obligated to attend meetings, and don’t understand the connection to their children. I like to remind them that PTA is the parent voice at the local, state, and federal levels. That when we stand together for what matters most, our officials listen.
Advocacy & Social Media
Amplifying the PTA voice is easy with the new Social Media Advocacy Chart. Tweet post or share anything in the green column. Think twice before sharing items from the yellow sections and do not share anything from a PTA account if it came from the red column.
Use social media to lift up PTA – you are an advocate and we need your voice!
