While attempting to provide for parents' rights and a broad range of beliefs, H.4757 creates considerable additional work for teachers and districts and fails to acknowledge school efforts already in place to resolve possible concerns. Existing laws, regulations, policies and procedures already address the provisions of this bill. Contact your State Senator to vote NO.

The House is set to vote on the SAVE America Act this week, which is the new and expanded version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act that passed the House last year. It adds a requirement that individuals present documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to vote in federal elections, on top of the existing requirements in last year’s SAVE Act that require DPOC in person when registering to vote.

H. 4760 restricting access to abortion-inducing medications has passed the House and moved to the Senate Medical Affairs Committee. Email its members to vote NO on this harmful bill.

"Bathroom bill" H.4756 is unnecessary and puts cisgender students at risk of bullying and harassment. Parental rights are important, but the requirements of H.4757would be a significant burden on teachers and schools.

Communities across the country have lived in terror as federal immigration enforcement agents have patrolled, surveilled, detained, disappeared, injured, and killed civilians, as well as denied people’s constitutional rights by attacking and arresting peaceful protestors. Yet Congress — our elected officials — has played a pivotal role in funding and enabling this government-manufactured crisis, and they must act to stop these attacks. 

Speak up now.
