VEA’s Strong Schools, Strong Communities campaign aims to restore public school funding and significantly boost educator pay. It’s time to invest in Virginia students and the staff who prepare them for careers and productive citizenship. We need your support!

7 Ways You Can Make A Difference:

  • Share information that you receive from the VEA and your Local with fellow union members.

  • Attend your local school board meetings and bring fellow Union members with you. Tell your story during public comment.

  • Plan a meeting with an elected official (school board, city council, board of supervisors, House of Delegates, VA Senate) and talk to them about your work and what you need.

  • Reach out to your Local leaders, building reps or UniServ Director about getting more involved in the Union.

  • Recruit potential members to join the Union.

  • Sign up to be a VEA online advocate.

  • Get involved with the VEA Fund for Children and Public Education  and VOTE!

Help Elect Candidates Who Support Virginia's Public Schools

The 2023 statewide election will set the stage for our public schools for years to come. Those we elect to the state Senate and House of Delegates hold the power to help—or harm—Virginia students and those who educate them. Learn who we’re recommending for office and make a voluntary donation to the VEA Fund now!
