Please call the foreign policy aide for your representative ASAP and ask that he or she sign on to the Schakowsky sign-on letter to Secretary of State Clinton. The letter asks the Obama administration to make a three-year pledge of $375 million to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) at the upcoming replenishment conference in November. The last day they can sign on is this Wednesday, October 26. Stay in action on it it until you get a yes or no answer!
Thanks to your persistent work, we now have at least 29 supporters on this critical letter. Great work! More will sign if we just ask them to.
Current signers: Schakowsky (D-IL), Moran (D-VA), Christensen (D-VI), Woolsey (D-CA), Lujan (D-NM), Napolitano (D-CA), Lofgren (D-CA), Farr (D-CA), Holt (D-NJ), Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Polis (D-CO), Conyers (D-MI), Green (D-TX), Van Hollen (D-MD), Kildee (D-MI), Price (D-NC), Gonzalez (D-TX), McDermott (D-WA), T. Ryan (D-OH), Andrews (D-NJ), Lee (D-CA), Speier (D-CA), McNerney (D-CA), Honda (D-CA), Eshoo (D-CA), Rothman (D-NJ), Davis (D-CA), Hastings (D-FL), Rush (D-IL)
If your Rep. is already a signer, thank him/her and ask if they can influence one other House member to sign as well. If your congressperson hasn't yet signed, here are some useful resources to help you with this request:
- A laser talk for making the request and the phone number for the Capitol Hill switchboard: (202) 224-3121.
- A copy of the sign-on letter to Sec. of State Clinton and/or the media we've generate our investment in GPE. You can send it to the aide before or after the call.
- A fact sheet on global education that explains why education is so critical.
