TCA Advocacy Day - March 11, 2025
Hello TCA members,
On Tuesday, March 11th, TCA hosted our first advocacy day of the 89th legislative session. Rep. Janie Lopez (R-San Benito), author of a school counselor ratio bill, addressed our orientation session and then recognized TCA from the House floor.
Counselors, students, and advocates from across the state joined together in the Capitol to speak to their legislators about the issues that matter to the counseling profession. We spoke to offices about important issues like the Interstate Counseling Compact, Student Loan repayment for counselors, and our opposition to school vouchers.
Thank you to everyone who attended on Tuesday, from experienced advocates to first-timers. We hope this opportunity was one big step in your advocacy journey.
A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to TCA member and school counselor Jacque Cunningham. Jacque volunteered her time to provide TCA’s testimony in opposition to HB 3 and stayed until 5:30 in the morning to speak.
Here are a few photos from the day. Our next Advocacy Day is on April 15, 2025. Please email Noah@TXCA.org to sign-up for this date, or to ask any questions related to TCA Advocacy Day.
Look out for our upcoming Webinars including the Know Before You Go Webinar on 4/1 and our Mid-Session Update on 4/4.
