Let’s Engage & Advocate Together for More Title IV Funding


Whether you’re attending our 10th annual SPEAK Out! Day this year on Capitol Hill or back home, you can do your part to ask Congress to fully fund Title IV, Part A, a federal grant that can support health and physical education in schools.

Use these sample social media messages to encourage your colleagues, family and friends to join your efforts to “speak out” for school health and physical education!  You can even tweet directly to your lawmaker! Use hashtag #MoreTitleIV.
