Take Action

 Given the onslaught of attacks on public education and the middle class, some may be tempted to give up the fight as this point.  It has been a long hard struggle and we haven't been able to prevent bad legislation from passing.  Some may believe there’s nothing we can do.

But there is something we can do – hold lawmakers accountable for their actions. That’s what Phase Two of MEA’s Crisis Plan is all about.

Every flood starts with one raindrop, every blizzard starts with one snow flake, every recall and referendum starts with one signature and every election starts with one vote. 

Go to "Get Involved with Recall" on the Members Only MEA Website to see how your signature can be part of a flood. Volunteer to be involved with these efforts to change the political climate.

Many of you are already engaged in this effort, but many more will need to get involved for the flood to occur. Every member's job security is threatened and every member's economic security is threatened. And when the job and economic security of education employees is threatened, the education of our children is threatened. Employees can't focus on teaching students, transporting students, cleaning and maintaining  facilities for students, feeding students and caring for the needs of students when that employee is worried about having health care, worried about making the mortgage payment, and worried about just having a job.

There is too much at stake for anyone to not be engaged.

Please, get involved today!  For more information, contact your local UniServ office.
