Reminder:
Call to Action for Week 1
Five Things to Do
Hello wonderful supporters.
If you haven’t already, please sign in on all five of the bills from our first call to action.
We have gotten feedback that sometimes the links are not working properly. Either there is a glitch in the system or the community is overwhelming it!
Please be persistent and try again if the links don’t work correctly.
Thank you!
Hearings are beginning right away.
Our #1 goal is to fend off the efforts to go backwards on the use of force reforms we pushed for last year.
And we have two bills we want to pass as part of our WCPA agenda from 2021.
We need as many people as possible to sign in via the committee hearing system. Please share this email with your networks.
1. We are opposing HB 1726. It will harm communities by allowing more force.
