The Legislative Education Groups is a member-to-member education and mobilization project sponsored by the Ohio Federation of Teachers.  The goal of LEGs is to develop a rapid response to policy-making decisions affecting our members at the state and federal levels.  Local officers will select LEGs Building Liaisons who will implement a structure that generates responses and work with the local LEGs coordinator to coordinate LEGs activities in the building.
