Advocating for change for all Arizona students and educators.
All students deserve an education that inspires them, encourages their curiosity, and prepares them for success. All educators deserve the support, resources, and time to do their jobs well, and the security to retire with dignity. Through the Arizona Education Association's advocacy at the state capitol, we work to create public pre-K-12 schools, colleges, and universities that are worthy of Arizonans.
As an AEA member, you have a voice at the Arizona state capitol. Our policy priorities are determined democratically each year at our annual Delegate Assembly. From there, AEA members advocate, organize and build power to turn our priorities into a reality.

Arizona makes it easy to vote by mail in every election by signing up for the early voting list. Ballots will be mailed to your home weeks prior to each local, state, and national election.
