FEA White Papers

Standing Up to a Hostile Governor and Legislature

FEA works constantly to protect public schools by maintaining a permanent presence at the state capitol, employing full-time lobbyists to continually monitor the legislative process and advocate for laws that achieve gains for teachers, education support professionals, higher education faculty members, retirees and students working in public education. This work is among the cornerstones of FEA’s lobbying efforts.

Organizing Members to Fight for Our Public Schools
FEA, in conjunction with local affiliates, uses its members as a force at the capitol. FEA organizes rallies and protests, wages member contact campaigns into targeted legislators’ offices via phones, emails and personal visits and prepares members to testify before legislative committees.

Electing Candidates Who Stand Up for Our Schools and Jobs
FEA engages in both member and public communication advocating for specific candidates and issues in both state and federal elections in Florida as a means of trying to shape legislative priorities.
