Action Alerts

Stay Informed about When Your Leaders Need to Hear from You

A simple phone call or email can have an enormous impact on elected leaders' decisions. Texas legislators say sometimes it takes only a handful of calls, just the interest of a small band of Texans, for them to change their minds. These decisions can have far-reaching effects on children's lives. Please take the time to sign up to receive our action alerts. A message from us about what's happening with something that matters to you will let you know what is happening, which officials to contact and how, and what they need to hear. An archive of recent action alerts can be found below.
