WEA-PAC (WEA's Political Action Committee)

The work WEA-PAC does to maintain our pro-public education, pro-labor majorities in the State House, State Senate, the Governor’s office, and other statewide positions, requires financial resources. Especially in such important election years like this one. That’s why we’re asking all NSEA members to join or increase their contribution, with monthly contributions at the $2.25, $5.00, and $10.50 levels. To contribute, click here. This money goes directly to supporting pro-public education, pro-labor candidates. Your work in WEA-PAC lays the foundation and will continue to help us succeed in years to come.
