We support adult education! What about you?

ProLiteracy shared the following post concerning the future of funding for adult education:

📢 Congress must complete the appropriations process before January 30, and budget cuts are almost certain for a number of line items. We must act now to ensure full adult education funding is included in the budget. Contact your representatives in the House and Senate and remind them of the critical return on investment adult education has in our communities, workforce, and economy. Fight for adult education funding! Find your reps: https://hubs.la/Q03-63F40

Adult education and literacy programs transform lives, open doors, and strengthen communities. At Ohio University and the OHIO Patton College of Education, we’re proud to shine a light on the power of lifelong learning and the incredible impact of adult education. 💚

Join us in raising awareness and supporting opportunities that change lives during COABE's Adult Education and Family Literacy Week!

Thank you to Steve Patterson, Mayor for the City of Athens in Athens County, for supporting adult education and for proclaiming September 15–19, 2025, as Adult Literacy Week.

🚨 ACTION NEEDED: Support the Timely Release of AEFLA Funds 🚨

We’ve been working closely with a staff member from Senator Jon Husted’s office regarding the urgent delay in the release of federal AEFLA funds, which were due on July 1, 2025.

Instead of flooding the Senator’s office with individual emails, the staffer recommended we submit a unified letter with a list of supporters. This approach will make a stronger impact and clearly demonstrate the concern of our AEFLA/Aspire community.

👉 If you work in an AEFLA or Aspire program and would like to sign on to this letter, please complete the short Google Form here:
🔗 https://forms.gle/oeP5p6Mi4NU73wTb9

📅 Deadline: Thursday, July 24 at 1PM

📌 Note: Some fiscal agents may require advocacy actions like this to be done outside of work hours and using personal email accounts.

Thank you for standing in solidarity with our programs and the communities we serve. Let’s raise our voices together!

For questions, please reach out to [email protected], OAACE Advocacy Chair.
