City level advocacy:
MNEA officers meet regularly with elected local leaders to advocate for policies that strengthen our public schools. This includes school board members, metro council members, and the mayor. We also organize lobbying and collective action of our members and their allies.
In addition, MNEA works on campaigns with other labor and community groups that are complementary to our vision and mission. This includes Central Labor Council of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, Nashville Organized for Action and Hope (NOAH), and the Tennessee Alliance to Reclaim our Schools (AROS).
