The next 10 days are crucial
Call your Senator and Assembly Member!
Send a postcard to the Governor!
AND Get ALL your friends and family to do the same!
August 22, 2022 Update: All legislative bills that made it to the Assembly and Senate floors can be voted on this Monday thru Thursday or next Monday thru Wednesday. All bills that are passed by full Senate and the full Assembly by midnight on August, 31, 2022 are thereby sent to Governor Newsom's desk for him to sign or veto. There is no predictability as to when a final floor vote will come. When a bill will be voted on is an intricate result based on competing legislative priorities, political horse-trading and the wishes of the legislative leadership. If a bill passes the floor vote, it goes back to the house of origin for a concurrence vote (if it has been amended) and then on to the Governor’s desk.
While A Voice for Choice Advocacy's Legislative team and lobbyists continue to communicate with legislative offices on a daily basis, YOUR voice as a constituent is extremely powerful. P lease keep calling your Assembly Member and your local State Senator. If you haven't already, be sure to send a postcard to the Governor through AVFCA's Postcard Campaign. Share this email and our posts on your social media encouraging your friends and family to do the same. Details below...
SB 866, and SB 1419 are on the Assembly floor and AB 2098 and AB 1797 are on the Senate floor. SB 1479, which has been watered down considerably, passed the Assembly floor last week (55-16-9).
TAKE ACTION THIS WEEK
1) CALL YOUR DISTRICT ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND YOUR SENATOR: [link removed] [[link removed]]
a) If you don't know who they are, find your State Senator and Assembly Member by putting your address into this locator ( [link removed] [[link removed]] ).
b) Then find your Senator's contact information here: [link removed] [[link removed]] and call both their Capitol office and their District office(s) asking them to oppose AB 2098 and AB 1797.
Sample Script: "I am a constituent. I am calling to ask the Senator to vote No or Abstain on AB 1797, Assembly Weber’s Immunization Registry bill, and AB 2098, Assembly Member Low’s COVID misinformation/disinformation bill, when they are voted on on the Senate Floor.”
If you wish to share more details on why:
AB 1797 – Will require all vaccinations for all Californians to be entered into the California Immunization Registry, with no way for private consumers to opt out. This is the first step to vaccine passports and discriminating people based on their vaccine status.
AB 2098 – The CA Medical Board already has the ability to discipline doctors for giving misinformation or disinformation to patients in their office. This bill is duplicative and unnecessary. The CA Medical Board does not currently support this bill.
c) Then find your Assembly Member's contact information here: [link removed] [[link removed]] and call both their Capitol office and their District office(s) asking them to oppose SB 866 and SB 1419.
Sample Script: "I am a constituent. I am calling to ask the Assembly member to vote No or Abstain on SB 866, Senator Wiener’s Vaccine Minor Consent Law, and SB 1419, Senator Becker’s medical privacy bill when they are voted on on the Assembly Floor.”
If you wish to share more detials on why:
SB 866 – Will create an environment where pharmaceutical companies can coerce teens into getting vaccines with incentives and bribes. It does not account for special needs teens who are not capable of making informed medical decisions on their own.
SB 1419 – Would force parents to go to court to get their children’s medical records in times of emergency, potentially causing delayed medical care, or in times of death.
2) SEND A POSTCARD TO GOVERNOR NEWSOM: [link removed] [[link removed]]

3) SHARE! SHARE! SHARE! GET YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO DO THE SAME:
Please share this email with friends and family, as well as on social media so we can get as many people as possible to call and send postcards. If every person gets just 10 other people to take action we would have tens of thousands of calls and postcards. AVFCA can't do this without you!
