COVID-19 Advocacy Efforts and Resources

With the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wyoming continuing to escalate, families, educators, and students will be faced with challenges and difficult decisions about health and wellness, compensation, food security, and more. Learn more about WEA/NEA's advocacy efforts on behalf of educators and resources for educators managing health and wellness, financial uncertainty resulting from school closures, and more. 

The House of Representatives passed, by a vote of 363–40, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, H.R. 6201, on March 14. NEA supported the bill and is urging the Senate to quickly pass it. It is a good initial step, along with the $8 billion passed earlier this month, to help during this crisis. NEA is urging Congress to take additional steps after passage of H.R. 6201. Learn more about relief provided by this legislation, and write Senators Enzi and Barrasso, asking them to support this legislation by clicking this link.
