Action Center

Congress is discussing a budget plan that would cut Medicaid for 21% of Ohioans, including children, the elderly, and 40% of births in Ohio. Medicaid helps to keep local hospitals running, plays a crucial role in supporting K-12 students, schools, and school-based health providers and families.

Click "start writing" and tell your member of Congress to oppose any legislation that cuts Medicaid, SNAP, or leaves working families behind while the rich get richer.

Tell Central Ohio Technical College to Respect Faculty and Sign Their Contract

In Congress, Trump’s allies are trying to sneak a new voucher program into a bill about taxes. But this “tuition tax credit” is nothing more than a national voucher program that also allows people like Elon Musk and Betsy DeVos to turn a profit, personally earning millions of dollars from the scheme, while our public schools, which 90 percent of all students attend, are underfunded and undermined.

Members of Congress—regardless of party—should urge President Trump to end this terrible anxiety and cruelty by reinstating the protection of schools, hospitals and churches against ICE.

Community Relations

The Community Relations Committee continuously communicates CTU’s message by initiating and supporting opportunities for partnership with CTU on education issues, changes that affect them and addressing concerns. We invite others to become a part of this committee. Community Relations Committee members are energetic with a passion for educational issues and the desire to cultivate relationships within the community.
