Global Education Media Keep Rolling In!

Congratulations! Your amazing work over since August has placed 42 pieces of media about Education For All and the Global Partnership for Education! The full list is below. Some of the new highlights include a great op-ed by a former military general in Afghanistan, an editorial in the Dallas Morning News, and a letter in the Washington Post.

Take Action!

Review our media clips packet to get inspired to get your own media!

The Global Partnership for Education’s replenishment confererence is November 7–8, and we are urging the U.S. to make it’s first-ever pledge to this important global education initiative. This media is critical to help influence the administration that the American public support education and will hold the administration to account if we fail, once again, to provide real resources to the Global Partnership for Education.

Take Action!

Have you asked your representatives to sign the House letter initiated by Rep. Schakowsky urging a three-year, $375 million pledge to the Global Partnership for Education? This letter, like the sign-on letters for the Global Fund and GAVI replenishments, is critical in our efforts pressure the administration to finally support Global Partnership for Education. Please ask your representatives to sign on today. It closes Wednesday, October 26!

After you call the office and speak to the foreign affairs staffer to ask him/her to sign the letter, send them a copy of all this great media! Contact me ([email protected]) if you have questions or need follow-up help.
