Our advocacy goal is to represent, inform and mobilize members and the public to advocate for the education, health, safety and well-being of all children.

As the oldest and largest advocacy organization in California, PTA is uniquely qualified to influence policymakers who make decisions that affect our children, youth, and families every day.  By working collaboratively on issues, PTAs in California and throughout the nation can form a powerful force in securing adequate laws and public policy that is best for the care and protection of children and youth.  Remember:  No amount of fundraising can have as much impact as a single piece of legislation.

Amplifying the PTA voice is easy with the Social Media Advocacy Chart. Tweet post or share anything in the green column. Think twice before sharing items from the yellow sections and do not share anything from a PTA account if it came from the red column.Use social media to lift up PTA – you are an advocate and we need your voice!
