Yes! New Mexico has begun the process of contacting our delegates. Although the more formal plan is not completely in gear, many programs have begun the contacting. In addition, our community college association has notified all the community college presidents who have ABE programs about the issues and they in turn are writing Congress. Also, all programs in the state have been made aware of the situation and are beginning their campaigns. The campaign in New Mexico is definitely gaining momentum!

AAACE-NLA Colleagues,
Do the people in these 33 states care if the federal government cuts
adult literacy state grants by an average of 66%? We hope they do. If
your state is on this list, let us know what's happening. Let us know
how your state is organizing to bring Congress' attention to this
issue. If you don't know what's happening in your state -- and you
subscribe to AAACE-NLA adult literacy public policy advocacy list --
don't you think you should know?
