Michigan PTA Advocacy Information

What Is Advocacy?
​
In the context of PTA, advocacy is supporting and speaking up for children — in schools, in communities, and before government bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children.


You can find more information about advocacy and the Michigan PTA on the Michigan PTA website here.
Ways to Advocate
​
There are many ways to be an advocate!
Some ways families can be involved are:
>  Meet with school leaders to discuss a topic of importance to the district.
  • Attend a school board meeting and/or serve on the school board.
  • Work with the school and state leaders to implement strong family engagement policies.
  • Sign up for the National PTA Takes Action Network to get updates on important federal policies and send messages to your members of Congress. 
  • Michigan PTA works with the National PTA on Federal Legislative Affairs. Michigan PTA has an Advocacy Committee to work on Michigan Legislative Affairs.  Both organizations are non-partisan. You may join fellow PTA members to receive action alerts and information on legislative issues at both the national and state level.  Please sign up today! Michigan PTA VoterVoice                
  • Sign up for Michigan PTA's Advocacy Facebook page as well.
  • Write a letter to the editor to stress the importance of family engagement and other PTA policy priorities.
  • Educate your members of Congress and their staff on PTA’s federal public policy priorities.
