Education Funding

Dear Adult Literacy Advocate,

Thank you for joining us in the action alert asking
U.S. Representatives to sign the Roe-Hinojosa Dear
Colleague Letter in support of adult education funding!
Your efforts resulted in 33 U.S. Representatives
signing the letter. [Copy of Letter
<http://capwiz.com/ncl/utr/1/BUGLRNBXBP/DHVNRNCDZA/8060
834676> ] Well done! Thank you to NCL Member
Organizations
<http://capwiz.com/ncl/utr/1/BUGLRNBXBP/JJLIRNCDZB/8060
834676>  and the National Council of State Directors of
Adult Education
<http://capwiz.com/ncl/utr/1/BUGLRNBXBP/KSUFRNCDZC/8060
834676>  for activating their networks.

Next Steps:

-If your U.S. Representative is listed below, please
contact his or her office today (phone, email
<http://capwiz.com/ncl/utr/1/BUGLRNBXBP/HKPBRNCDZD/8060
834676> ) with a quick thank you for signing the letter
and supporting adult education funding.

-If your U.S. Representative signed the letter but is
not a member of the House Adult Literacy Caucus
[indicated with * below], ask him or her to join and
send your U.S. Representative a copy of this Caucus
Invitation
<http://capwiz.com/ncl/utr/1/BUGLRNBXBP/HAPKRNCDZE/8060
834676> . (What is the Adult Literacy Caucus
<http://capwiz.com/ncl/utr/1/BUGLRNBXBP/ORDXRNCDZF/8060
834676> ?)

-Now is a good time to invite U.S. Representatives to
join the Adult Literacy Caucus, whether or not they've
signed the letter, since they have been receiving many
calls these last two weeks from advocates about adult
education. Asking them to join the Caucus is an easier
"ask" in most cases, than asking them to support
funding. (Who
<http://capwiz.com/ncl/utr/1/BUGLRNBXBP/GRRQRNCDZG/8060
834676> 's a member of the Caucus?)

Call today: Phone numbers

Let us know what they say by emailing NCL at
