Congress is considering a fast-track legislative process to allocate billions of additional dollars to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the very agencies that are terrorizing our communities. All the while, millions of Americans are struggling to meet their basic needs.

An April 14 vote is scheduled on concurrence with the Senate version of "bathroom bill" H.4756 which includes amendments that are harmful to trans children and adults. The Senate version allows schools to substitute a single outdoor portable restroom (“Porta Potty”) anywhere on the school campus for that single user facility in each school building. Non-concurrence in the House would send this bill to a conference committee where these very harmful provisions can be removed. Contact your House member to vote NOT to concur with the Senate version.

S.1060, the Educator Safety and Classroom Authority Act, affirms the authority of teachers to implement classroom management. It asks for teachers and administrators to administer appropriate discipline measures to ensure a conducive learning environment in the classroom and school. Call your state senator and ask that the bill be immediately heard in subcommittee due to its late introduction in the two-year legislative session.

Please contact your House Representative to non-concur with the Senate's version of the H.4756 "bathroom bill" that recommends a porta potty as an acceptable accommodation. To be relegated to a porta potty while other students, staff, and visitors have access to permanent facilities is demeaning and hurtful.
