We urgently need everyone to get involved THIS WEEK so we can make some noise in unison and SUPPORT MA BILL S.1122. We can’t wait for someone else to do it! It’s up to each of us now to speak up and made our voices heard!
How? Calling is best, emailing is great too, both is even better. Please do as many of the
5 ACTIONS ITEMS as you can THIS WEEK. If you have already done them, do them again!
1. Please reach out to your OWN legislators and ask them to co-sponsor S.1122 An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity – bills to protect your right to make choices about your own health. If you have a story of medical injury or coercion please share it with them and ask them to protect you. Coercion and discrimination at colleges and universities and many workplaces are out of control!!!! Please let them know. If you are on the phone please ask that they record your support.
You can find your legislators here: FindMyLegislator. EVEN BETTER: Request a meeting with your lawmakers. Here is how. People from the Health Rights MA committee can accompany you.
