ATPE has just launched a new mobile app. In addition to allowing users to conveniently access member benefits including the ATPE Online Community, Professional Learning Portal, the Member Legal Services Intake System, and member discounts, the app also puts ATPE’s suite of member advocacy tools in the palm of your hand. With the app, members can read Teach the Vote, contact their legislators, or donate to the ATPE Political Action Committee (ATPE-PAC).  

After you download the app for free from the App Store or Google Play, you can add your favorite ATPE tools and features to the My Shortcuts area on the home screen. Either click the add button under My Shortcuts, or click the menu icon and then press and hold the name of the feature you want to add: 

• ATPE’s Teach the Vote will take you to list of recent Teach the Vote blog posts.  
• Use Advocacy Central directs you to the ATPE Advocacy Central main page, where you can engage in one of our ongoing advocacy efforts like the current “I Pledge to Vote Pro-Public Education” campaign, find and communicate with your elected officials, or find legislation.  
• Donate to ATPE-PAC links to the main ATPE-PAC page, where you and your colleagues can invest in yourselves by coming together to support candidates and officeholders who will support you as a Texas educator!  
• Research Candidates links to Teach the Vote's search tool for finding elected officials and candidates in your area. See candidates’ stances on public education funding, teacher recruitment and retention, parental rights, and more. You can also view incumbent vote records on major education bills from past legislative sessions in the Voting Record tab of the elected official’s profile.
