Take action today in support of Secure Rural Schools reauthorization
Tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 2 p.m. EST, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to take up consideration of S. 356, the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) Reauthorization Act of 2025,
under a procedure known as "Suspension of the Rules."
This procedure requires a bill to receive a two-thirds majority vote to pass, so it is vital your representative knows to vote "Yes" on this critical legislation.
* Why it matters: More than 700 counties in 41 states receive funding through SRS. The SRS program <https://public-usa.mkt.dynamics.com/api/orgs/227b4c5a-99e5-4698-be04-ef85d0384bf3/r/3bcuKIRlLkKLCT1
