🚨 Adult education funding is on the line.

On June 5, Congress will begin making decisions about Fiscal Year 2027 funding for adult education.

The programs that help adults earn diplomas, learn English, gain job skills, support their families, and build better futures depend on these investments.

If adult education has ever changed a life you know, now is the time to speak up.

COABE's 3-clicks advocacy tool makes it easy to contact your Members of Congress in less than a minute and urge them to protect and increase adult education funding.

Every message matters. Every voice counts.

Take action today and help ensure adult learners are not left behind.
