2024 Legislative Session

We appreciate all those who took action during the 2024 legislative session to stand up for public education. Together, FEA activists sent nearly 45,000 emails and made hundreds of phone calls. Close to 1,000 people participated in our week Power Hour legislative Zoom meetings and almost 200 FEA members traveled to Tallahassee to meet with lawmakers and testify in committee. Watch the video below to see FEA members in action!
