On October 12, ACTE launched a social media campaign to urge Members of Congress to maintain the robust funding levels provided in the budget reconciliation bill, known as the Build Back Better Act, for CTE and other workforce development programs as the final negotiations on that bill continue!
As of October 22, 77 Tweets have been sent through ACTE’s Action Center, which facilitates delivery of emails and Tweets to Members of Congress. For those without Twitter accounts, advocates were encouraged to send a letter supporting the funding levels through the Action Center – so far, 335 letters have been sent to Capitol Hill.
ACTE members contacted senators and representatives from California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Virginia on Twitter. Here is a sampling of the Tweets ACTE members sent to make their voices heard:
