EOP Funding Advocacy

Find Your Legislator

The Educational Opportunity Program encourages its students to take part in advocacy, and in the issues affecting them, not only as students, but as state residents and as a member of the United States populace.

In an effort to help in the lobbying fight to keep fundings for EDP (EOP), we ask all students to contact their respective legislator and let their voice be heard on this very important issue.Carmelito & Riqui - EDP General Meeting

We have provided a set of resources available for your purposes. We strongly encourage that you contact your local and state legislators and make them aware of issues that concern you. We also strongly encourage that, if you are a U.S. Citizen, 18 years of age or older, to register to vote.

Lash, Margaret, and Mr. White - Inside the NYS Assembly     Lash, Margaret, and Mr. White - In Albany for EOP Lobby Day 3/27/12

 

We have had a tremendous experience!  Lash and Margaret passionately spoke to several state legislators on the importance and need for continued EOP funding and the opportunity that it has provided.  Assemblyman Sean Ryan, 144th District (Fredonia alumnus), invited us onto the Assembly floor where we were officially introduced and welcomed.  Two other NYS Assembly representatives from Buffalo--Mr. Michael Kearns, 145th District, and Ms. Crystal Peoples-Stokes, 141st District--both introduced themselves to our students as well.  -- Mr. White
