Make your voice heard for dyslexic youth! Reach out to your legislators BEFORE MONDAY to ask them to include HF 60 and SF 1842 in the READ Act this session. This would ensure that MN educators receive mandatory Dyslexia Professional Development in their re-licensure hours – just 2 hours of free PD, once in a teacher’s career. This is an easy, bipartisan win for dyslexic students.
Here is a list of people to contact:
Senator Erin May Quade: [email protected]
Rep. Patricia Mueller: [email protected]
Rep. Bianca Vernig: [email protected]
Rep. Mary Frances Clardy: [email protected]
Please help all dyslexic students in MN by emailing them by Monday afternoon.

And through nonprofits like @remoteareamedical , @readingcentermn , and @goalsonrivers , their support is advancing health, education, youth leadership, and much more.
Your giving can spark this kind of impact, too. Learn more at GiveAdvised.org.
