WSPTA Focus on Advocacy Week
Jan 26 – Jan 30 all-day

WSPTA has selected January 26th-30th, 2026, for when we will sharpen our advocacy for our Top 5 legislative issues. During this week, WSPTA will send action alerts to members who have signed up to help. Each action alert will provide an easily customizable message that the system will automatically forward to your legislators on your behalf. It is easy to do, only takes a few minutes, and helps boost our advocacy efforts. Your voice matters!

Sign up here for action alerts

Your actions throughout this week will be quick and easy but will make a tremendous impact. It will be so easy that you can take action from home, while waiting for a coffee order, or sitting in your child’s pick-up line! We also encourage you to share your advocacy work on your personal and PTA social media accounts throughout the week using the hashtag #WSPTAOneVoice.
