VOUCHER BILL HEARING ON TUESDAY!

Writer: Devina MendezDevina Mendez

Tuesday, March 11 HB 3 - House Voucher Bill

House Pub Ed Committee

8am, JHR 140 (Reagan building)

The committee will meet to hear public testimony on HB 3 relating to vouchers.

Testimony limited to 2 minutes. 


ACPTA will host a Public Education Lounge starting at 8am in Room E2.024.


 

OUR ASK: DO NOT PASS HB 3 OUT OF COMMITTEE! FOCUS ON MAKING OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHOLE, INSTEAD.


CALL TO ACTION:

  • Write an official comment to the House Pub Ed Committee. This becomes a part of the public record and the more comments they hear from constituents, the better. Background, scripts, contact lists, and more can be found in our Call to Action folder.



  • Show up. There will be an opportunity to testify but you don't have to testify if you show up. For those who are testifying, it's really helpful to have friendly spirits in the audience. It also helps for the reps to see a lot of faces in the audience throughout the day so they know we're paying attention. Wear your PTA or school shirt!

  • Testify. This is our first chance to let them know how we feel about vouchers and share what we know about it's impacts to our friends and family in other states. Wear your PTA or school shirt!


If you are planning to join us at the Capitol, you must sign up for our Testimony Team Signal group to collaborate, prepare, and get real-time updates.


 

Join the Sunday night Huddle to prep (8pm, zoom). We'll talk about what we've witnessed from the house members so far and talk about testimony tactics. If you're already written your testimony, we can help you hone it. 


Can't get to the Capitol? Watch the hearing hereIt'll be available in the broadcast archives after the hearing ends. 


NOW is the time to show up, y'all. Advocacy looks like commenting, calling, sending emails, sharing this information, joining us at the Capitol for moral support, registering, and/or testifying. Do what you can!
