Literacy New York is once again emphasizing its ongoing message of strategic advocacy, reminding providers that it is in all of our best interest to reach out to legislators and their staff so that they are aware of the importance and value of adult education. 

LNY can and will help providers if they are unsure how to implement an advocacy plan. One helpful tool is the Educate & Elevate campaign: http://educateandelevate.org/  Educate & Elevate is a campaign that provides communication tools to elevate your organization and build relevancy in the mission of adult education. LNY joined the Educate & Elevate movement a few months back and encourages all providers to get involved.

The main purpose of Educate & Elevate is for the system of 55,000+ adult education leaders to stand united in a national campaign to educate policy makers about the importance of investing in adult education and moving opportunities forward for all Americans to achieve economic mobility.
