Two bills of great concern remain during the final two weeks of the General Assembly 2024 session. Please urge your senators to oppose H.4624 Gender Transition Under 18 and H.5118 Rollback of Public Protections in Utility Regulation (Canadys gas plant.) H.4624 has been set for special order and could be heard as soon as Tuesday. H.5118 is currently stalled on the Senate calendar but could rear its ugly head during these last weeks.

Every day, the freedom to vote is under attack. Since the Supreme Court decision of Shelby County v. Holder that gutted the Voting Rights Act (VRA), at least twenty-nine states have passed ninety-four laws that make it harder to vote, with the burden falling hardest on Black voters and other voters of color.

Urge Your Representatives to Prevent Voter Discrimination and Support the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
