Last minute efforts before the close of the session have resulted in two extreme actions. Call your SC Senator and House Representative to oppose midterm redistricting, an action that would require cancelling June 9 primaries.

Action Alerts

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.

Speak up now.

S.1095, a total abortion ban with no exceptions for incest or rape, passed out of Senate Medical Affairs on April 21 and has moved to the full Senate calendar. If passed, people who seek abortion care and the providers who offer it could face jail time. It could also put access to birth control and in vitro fertilization (IVF) at risk.

We are confident objections will be filed, so it can’t be considered without special order. This requires a 2/3 vote. Call your senator and tell them to vote no on S.1095. #StopTheBansSC

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.
