Take action for public education

Make Sure Lawmakers in Olympia Hear Educator Voices 

Here's how you can stay up to speed with legislative and political news that affects students, educators and public schools – and take action with other union members and supporters.

1. Help show legislators why our priorities are important.  Share your experiences:

   • Teachers, share why ESPs are critical to your work. Educational Support Professionals include classified staff like paraeducators, office professionals, nutrition services, transportation, building services, and more. 

   • ESPs, share your experience of why wages need to increase. 

   • All members, including Higher Education and Retired, share why we need respectful pay that rewards our important work.
