TRTA Day at the Capitol is Here!

Today, April 3, is the Texas Retired Teachers Association Day at the Capitol event! More than 1000 retired educators from across the state will arrive on the east lawn of the Texas Capitol wearing red shirts, #RAISETHEBASE bracelets and stickers, and rallying in support of funding for vital pension and health care programs!

TRTA IS THE VOICE FOR TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION RETIREES, and we want to be seen and heard today!
