Hi everyone taking my lunch break & asking all TRIO supporters including alumni, current & former staff, parents, & friends of UB to take a few minutes of your break and call your representative about the urgent issue we have in the message below. Thank you all for your support in this urgent matter.
Late yesterday evening, despite strong opposition by Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman and TRiO Advocate Tom Cole, the House Rules Committee approved the “Lewis Amendment” that would take $60 million funding increase to TRiO and move it to CTE.
CTE programs are very popular in Congress; therefore it is CRITICAL that ALL TRiO supporters take the following steps:
It is URGENT that you, your alumni, students, parents, and other supports CALL your House Representatives, particularly those who are Republican, and urge them to vote NO on the Jason Lewis CTE amendment. Doing so is simple.
Find your Representative’s number at https://ziplook.house.gov/htbin/findrep?ZIP or call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 225-3121 and give the operator your zip code.
Tell the staff member who answers the phone: “My name is _____ and I am a resident of ______ and I want Representative _________________ to vote ‘NO!’ on the Jason Lewis CTE Amendment to H.R. 3354.”
Get feedback from the aid/staff/ member on their commitment to vote NO.
Hang up and nudge three of your friends in TRIO to do the same thing.
Once again, TRiO is threatened by politicians who really do not know or understand what we do. We must help to educate them on how we help the disadvantaged to achieve their goals and aspirations.
To all Current Upward Bound Students: The Summer Orientation is tomorrow, Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 6:00 pm in Schwendler Auditorium in Meister Hall. Please bring your most up to date report card & transcript. You will receive information about class dates and activities this summer as well as forms you must hand in for the summer. See you tomorrow.
