In addition to the important union work, a big part of the RA is raising money for the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education, the federal political action committee that NEA uses to fund pro-public education candidates. The funds that we raise in 2026 will be instrumental in electing a pro-public education to take back the U.S. Senate and House! The money you help raise in 2026 will build momentum to a successful mid-term election!
The NEA and Education Minnesota would like all delegates to start raising contributions from colleagues for the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education.
Fundraising goals
- Raise an average of $200 in contributions per delegate.
- Recruit five members to sign up for a $10 a month recurring contribution using your PACtivist page.

Other information:
