Grassroots Campaigns

You've been looking for a way to get involved. This is it! Legislative and Political Action Team members are MTA members who work by day as education support professionals, teachers, faculty, support and professional staff. LPAT members use their voices — and their expertise from the front lines of public education — to engage colleagues, fellow association members, neighbors, friends and family in influencing legislators and other elected and appointed officials.

Legislative and Political Action Teams are at the core of our grassroots campaigns program. Led by a Senate district coordinator and composed of a mix of MTA activists, the LPATs are charged with educating, organizing and mobilizing MTA members and the community around a truly pro-public-education agenda.

One person can make a difference! Political decisions shape much of the work we do every day in public schools and public higher education across the Commonwealth. Our elected leaders and their appointees make decisions every day about issues that have a direct impact on us as educators, faculty and staff – as well as on our students, our schools and colleges, and our communities. Class size, curriculum and funding are just a few of the issues decided by elected and government officials that affect our work lives.
