Please see the message below from COE President Maureen Hoyler.

September 7, 2017

Dear Colleagues:

We know that many of you have been calling and emailing your House Representatives about the Jason Lewis CTE Amendment that would take $60 million in funding from TRIO (as well as $10 million in funding from GEAR UP) and move it into funding for Career and Technical Education (CTE) State Grants.

We learned late Thursday evening that the vote on this particular amendment may not occur until later this week...and possibly even early next week. This means that we have even more opportunities to have our voices heard.

Please continue to calling your House Representatives - both Republican AND Democrat - and urge them to "VOTE NO!" on the Jason Lewis CTE Amendment to HR. 3354.

Here are the steps to take:

  1.  Find your Representative's number at https://ziplook.house.gov/htbin/findrep?ZIP<http://t.congressweb.com/l/?RVIALUTSZYLNARD> or call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 225-3121 and give the operator your zip code.


  1.  Tell the staff member who answers the phone: "My name is _____ and I am a resident of ______ and I want Representative _________________ to vote 'NO!' on the Jason Lewis CTE Amendment to H.R. 3354."


  1.  Hang up and nudge three of your friends in TRIO to do the same thing.

Thank you for your continued commitment to low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities.

Sincerely,

Maureen Hoyler
President
