UPDATE FROM PROGRAM DIRECTOR, DOUG MIRTS
NASSP sent an action alert this week to our members, advocates, and stakeholders supporting H.R. 2339, the Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act. The bill was headed for a vote on the House floor this week, and we are looking to generate one more big push from school leaders urging Representatives to vote in favor. Anyone can easily send an email and tweet with a few clicks and also make a quick phone call to their Representative’s office here: https://p2a.co/EjYgOH6
