*Government Relations Summary*
According to Washington insiders, this week the leadership of the House and
Senate Appropriations Committees will meet to define their key priorities
in order to make the final push to pass a long-term spending bill to fund
the federal government for FY 2016. Although Congress will most likely pass
the funding measure until next month, this week will be critical in our
work to establish TRIO as a funding priority for this year.
Don’t miss this opportunity to urge your legislators to support an omnibus
appropriations bill that includes a $60 million increase in TRIO funding!
Please take just 5 minutes to share the following message with your
legislators via e-mail or phone (202-224-3121):
*Hello, my name is __________ and I’m calling from __________ to urge
__________ to support an omnibus appropriations bill that includes a $60
million increase in funding for TRIO programs. *
*As _________ is aware, TRIO helps over 785,000 low-income,
first-generation students, and students with disabilities to prepare for,
enter, and successfully complete college. *
*I know that ________ will be faced with difficult decisions about federal
spending, but trust that ______________ will support a $60 million increase
for TRIO because [he/she] is well aware that, here in _____, TRIO works!*
You can connect directly with your legislators using the portal on the COE
website at http://www.congressweb.com/coe/legislators
<http://t.congressweb.com/l/?TQYYCFAHGWKFJNA>.
If you have not reached out to your legislator yet, the time is now. We
need our TRIO voices on the ground sharing why #TRIOWORKS and participating
in Ten Ways to Advocate for TRIO
<http://t.congressweb.com/l/?TQYYCFAHGWPRZLU>.
Also, don’t forget—tomorrow is TRIO Tuesday. Please take time to share why
#TRIOWORKS and, if you can, share your activities with the entire TRIO
Community using the #TRIOTUESDAY hashtag via social media.
Remember, it’s not over until we see that $60 million increase!
