Step 2: Support elected officials who support public education
By contributing to our PAC, you help advance policies impacting our students, our members, and public education.
YES! I want to join with other members to elect champions who will pass pro-public education budgets and policy,
fund our contract, and give educators the respect we deserve. I hereby authorize the following contribution to the Fund for
Children and Public Education of NEA, MSEA, and my local association to build a strong voice for educators.
I want to donate $15 $10 $5 $___________ per pay period.
The NEA Fund for Children and Public Education and MSEA and local affiliates collect voluntary contributions from Association
members and use those contributions for political purposes, including, but not limited to, making contributions to and
expenditures on behalf of friends of public education who are candidates for federal, state or local office. I understand that I
am making a joint contribution and that ten percent (10%) of my contribution will go to the NEA Fund, and that the remaining
ninety percent (90%) will be divided equally between the MSEA and local association accounts. Contributions to the Funds are
voluntary; making a contribution is neither a condition of employment nor membership in the NEA, the MSEA or local association,
and members have the right to refuse to contribute without suffering any reprisal. Although the NEA, MSEA and local association
Funds request a donation in the amounts listed above, these are only suggestions. A member may contribute more or less than the
suggested amounts, or may contribute nothing at all, without it affecting their membership status, rights, or benefits in NEA, MSEA
or any of its affiliates.
Contributions to the Funds are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal or state income tax purposes. Federal law
requires us to use best efforts to report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer for each individual whose
contributions aggregate in excess of $200 in a calendar year. Only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents may contribute to the
Funds.
With full knowledge of this information, I agree that my authorization for political pledges as indicated by the check mark herein
and my authorization for payroll deductions, shall continue in force from year to year unless revoked or modified by me providing
written notification to my local association.
