• Fax your elected representatives to advocate for students using NYSUT MAC: The NYSUT Member Action Center (MAC) has prepared letters that you can use to easily fax your elected officials on issues that impact our students, like closing the "TAP gap" (the difference between resident undergraduate tuition at SUNY and CUNY four-year institutions and a student's TAP award, which hits the institutions that serve our poorest communities the hardest), fully funding foundation aid for schools, addressing inequality in the state, supporting an enhanced maintenance of effort for SUNY and CUNY and many others.
  
  Log into the MAC today to complete and send your letter. It's quick and easy, and we hear from legislators that they definitely notice, especially when these missives come in to their offices in volume.
