The NAACP strongly supports the Fix America’s Schools Today Act, or the FAST
Act, S. 1597 / H.R. 2948. This legislation addresses two of our Nation’s more
pressing problems:  public schools in dire need of new construction, repair,
renovation, modernization and essential maintenance which has been deferred for
too long and an unacceptably and stubbornly high unemployment rate.

For information on the bill, which may come before the full Senate for
a vote in the next few weeks, and how you can become an advocate, please see the
attached Action Alert.

Thank you,

Hilary
