Advocacy
Learn about our legislative priorities and other supported issues, participate in discussion groups, and find out more ways to get involved.
What is Advocacy? Advocacy is defined as "Active support of an idea or cause etc.; especially the act of pleading or arguing for something." It is the pursuit of influencing outcomes - including public policy, political, economic or social systems and institutions.
Did you know that by just scheduling a parent-teacher conference YOU are involved in advocacy? Many of us don't realize that many of our everyday activities or involvements fall into this category.
Your Adams Elementary PTSA, along with PTAs across the nation, advocate on a daily basis for our children. You might be surprised to learn that PTA is responsible for many of the children safeguards that are in place today:
The creation of kindergarten classes, Child labor laws, A public health service, Hot lunch programs, A juvenile justice system, Mandatory immunization
Your membership dues are instrumental in achieving these successes! There is MUCH more work that needs to be done, and with your continued support, we CAN make a difference for all children....TOGETHER!
