Share Your Story

Every legislative session, lawmakers make decisions that shape our classrooms, worksites, and students' lives. Hearing directly from the educators who do this work makes a difference and ensure legislators make decisions informed by your experience and expertise. Use this form to tell us what you are seeing. OEA staff read every submission and may reach out to learn more, help you prepare testimony, or invite you to speak during the 2027 legislative session.

Sharing your story does not commit you to testify. We will always contact you before your name or story is used publicly.

Build our power by sharing this link with a colleague and ask them to share their story. The more members who share their story the farther our reach. You never know when your story may make the difference in passing legislation.

Our commitments to you:

• We will contact you before your name, photo, or words are used publicly, including in testimony, news stories, or social media.
• You can change your mind or withdraw your story at any time by contacting [OEA staff contact].
• We will not share your contact information outside OEA without your permission.

Good to know: If you testify or submit written testimony to the Legislature, it becomes public. The Legislature posts written testimony online, including your name and any personal information in it, where search engines can find it.
