Knock out required CPE credits from
the comfort of your home!
ATPE's newest tool, Advocacy Central, makes it
quick and easy for members to contact legislators
about issues of concern.
Want to tell your representatives how you feel about vouchers, A-F school
ratings, testing, or school funding? Advocacy Central automatically links
you to your elected officials in your own zip code all the way to the Oval
Office. We provide background on issues at stake, plus talking points or
sample messages you can modify or send "as is" to your legislators with
just a couple of mouse clicks. You can search for any bill at the state or
federal level, or read about key legislation that tops ATPE's watch list.
Ready to raise your voice? Head to atpe.org/advocacy-central right now!
