Virginia PTA Capitol Day - 2022 Session
Join us in Richmond on January 21st to #TakeAction4Kids!
All PTA members are welcome to join us for Capitol Day. Listen to bills be debated. Meet your Legislator. Share your personal stories about how the lack of state education funding has impacted your school. Do you have deteriorated school facilities? Lack internet access? Need more school counselors, mental health resources or social workers? Does your school community need better access to early childhood education, school meals or literacy instruction?
This year, Capitol Day is on a Friday. This is a quieter day with less people in the halls and more opportunities to meet with legislators. In addition to our traditional in-person Capitol Day on January 21st, we are also setting up some virtual legislator meetings in February. If you aren't able to join us in-person, you can still participate in our Virtual Rally on January 21st and a #ConstituentConnection virtual meeting in February.
REGISTER BELOW so that we can ensure you are grouped with an experienced PTA volunteer from your area.
