AEA Day at the State House
We look forward to seeing you in Montgomery on Wednesday, April 23! See our resources below on how to get involved.
If you are attending AEA Day at the State House, please review our "KNOW BEFORE YOU GO" document.
CAN'T ATTEND BUT WANT TO SUPPORT? NO PROBLEM!
We recognize that not everyone can attend AEA Day at the State House in Montgomery on April 23, but your voice remains powerful, regardless of your location. That’s why we’re launching a virtual advocacy campaign to ensure that every educator in Alabama has a way to show their support. Let's flood social media, inboxes, and hallways with support for education and show appreciation to our lawmakers for our successful wins, such as workers' compensation and paid parental leave.
