Action!

Members of LCARSP, along with over 200 other retired school personnel from around the state, attended Legislative Day at the Missouri State Capitol today, February 14. The assembly heard from state politicians and MRTA representatives before visiting their respective state legislators. These legislators listened to MRTA members as they shared their views on public education as well as their retirement program.

Just a reminder - "The world is run by those who show up!"

If you have not contacted your legislator please do so today. Do not assume someone else will advocate for your issues or that your legislator knows about your concerns.

MRTA is the only retired teacher and school personnel organization that is solely devoted to protecting our retirement program (PSRS/PEERS). We are 30,000 members strong and we make our voices heard!

Each February, MRTA encourages its members to participate in 

MRTA Legislative/Blitz Day

at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City.  Some members go to the Capitol to visit with their legislators about Retired Educator and Public Education issues.  Those not able to travel to Jefferson City that day "BLITZ" their elected officials with emails and phone calls sharing their views on these topics.
