    Action Center

    Help protect vulnerable students and their families who are facing cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

    Tell your state legislators, the Speaker of the House, and the Senate President that educators deserve meaningful elected representation on the STRS Board. Tell them to introduce and pass legislation to restore our voice on the STRS Board.
