Take Action

The Action Center will provide you with the tools and information you need to be an effective advocate.

Sign the Petition
Urge state leaders to support one of New York's greatest assets. Fill out the form at left to send a message that funding for State University of New York system needs to be a priority in the coming year.

Call your legislators
A phone call is a great way to reach a legislator quickly, and it allows you to develop a personal connection. It is not always possible to meet with a legislator in a face-to-face setting, and a phone call is still great way to make an important contact. If the legislator is not available, ask the staff member to take a message and voice your support. Look up your legislators phone number here.

Write a personal letter
Personal letters can have a strong impact with legislators. In this day and age, legislators receive hundreds of generic letters from constituents. A personal handwritten letter can get noticed because legislators receive so few of them. Use our sample letter to legislators to craft your own personal letter.

• Urge legislators to support community colleges
• Urge legislators to support SUNY's Colleges and Universities

Talk with friends and family
Help spread the word about how the State University of New York is an important state investment. By talking with people we know, we can help build public support and educate our community about the value of public higher education.
