Wednesday, May 20 - Witness Slip Roundup / Randy Villegas Phone Banks / Election Protection Virtual Workshop
Community Action: Witness Slip Roundup
The Illinois General Assembly is back in Session, and now’s the time to make your voice heard! A Witness Slip is a person or group's position on a particular bill. Filling out a witness slip is a great way to let legislators know whether you support or oppose a bill.
Witness slips are read during a committee hearing and help inform legislators as to where people stand, allowing informed decisions when voting. Witness slips are a quick way to make your voice heard in state government.
👉 Fill out these witness slips as PROPONENT to support legislation that modernizes survivor protections for the digital age, expands access to menopause care, safeguards personal health autonomy, invests in preventative healthcare services, and ensures dignity and equity for all workers.
