<tr><td><div><div>Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) is planning on introducing legislation that would fully authorize the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) grant program (<a href="http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/BYPYTBLFOL/KXRXTBLFRQ/9585936986" target="_blank">see legislation</a> ).</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Please ask your two senators to co-sponsor Sen. Reed’s legislation. You can find more information at the <a href="http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/BYPYTBLFOL/NMKDTBLFRR/9585936986" target="_blank">Legislative Action Center</a>.</div>
