Many go home over the weekend during the session and are available to talk with constituents. • Come to the capitol! Contact WEA Government Relations Director Tammy Johnson (tjohnson@wyoea.org). She can provide coaching, talking points and connect you with your legislators. MORE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD In the last year, educators from across the country have proven that your voice matters! Education legislation and policy has changed because educators like you are willing to step up and stand up for students. Until Wyoming commits to stable funding for education, we must be the voice for our students. Legislators need accurate information to make the right decisions about education funding. You are most knowledgeable about how funding cuts impact your students. Let's work together to send the Wyoming Legislature a strong, consistent message that education funding matters to Wyoming schools, children, and voters. TEACHERS! Are you bringing your class to the Capitol? Let WEA know – we have many tools to assist you! Our GR director can talk to your kids about the legislative process, answer questions, get them connected with their legislators, and have the WEA communications department memorialize their trip through photos and captured impressions.
