1) Email the Senate Judiciary Committee Members: Go to:  https://secure.everyaction.com/GSrtgnUX5Ey_kFgi9Af6yg2  A Voice for Choice Advocacy has made it easy for you to email the Senators on the Judiciary Committee to ask them to Oppose SB 866.  For legislators to read your email (and not assume it as a mass marketing campaign), it is important that your letter is personalized to your situation, so be sure to outline how SB 866 would affect you and your family.  You can use some of the talking points from AVFCA's letter (but don't copy it!): https://avoiceforchoiceadvocacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/AVFCA-SB866-Letter-of-Oppose-unless-Amended-Wiener-Pan.pdf
