Call to Action
The KASA team is working on numerous advocacy activities and we need your assistance with two quick items:
The first is a 2-question survey that outlines your current challenges and concerns. It will require little time and can be accessed below. This survey data will be used to guide and generate stories to share with members of the General Assembly.
The second item is to sign up for KASA’s texting service to receive action alerts, updates, and instant connections to your legislators. Please text “KASAadvocacy” to 52886 so that KASA may easily contact you throughout the session. Should you need assistance with the sign up process, please contact Zach Levine at the KASA office.
