Fight for children - join PTA.
California State PTA is proud to lead the fight to provide all children the education and opportunities they need to succeed.
As part of our "Add 10 in '10" membership campaign, we encourage you to do the one thing proven over and over to bring in new members: Ask
Ask people to join with us because:
1. Budget cuts threaten an entire generation of children.
2. Parents and families need access to great resources and information to help their children.
3. Boosting membership boosts our power to advocate for children.

Legislative Chairman
As a child advocacy association, our legislative mission is to speak on behalf of all children and youth at the local, state and federal levels. One of the purposes of PTA is “to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.” PTA promotes and encourages legislative advocacy for the education and welfare of all children and youth.
PTA legislative advocacy chairs are responsible for providing leadership on children’s issues at the local level by educating PTA members, community members and elected officials about PTA’s issues of concern and legislative priorities and goals.
