Action 1: Tell IL State Senators to Support HB 1464
Progressives like you have been getting Illinois ready for what happened on June 24, especially after Politico published a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion from Justice Alito to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, ending federal constitutional protections for abortion. But even though we saw it coming, it was a devasting blow.
On Friday, many of us took to the streets to yell and scream and cry. It was needed, that catharsis of releasing our collective grief and anger. But today we work. Let’s get busy!
One thing you can do to help support reproductive health access in Illinois is to urge Illinois State Senators to support HB 1464, which will protect providers who are licensed in Illinois from discipline if their license is revoked by another state because they participated in any health care, medical service, or procedure related to an abortion.
This bill has passed the Illinois State House. Now, call your Illinois State Senator and ask them to support HB 1464. Additionally, contact Senator Don Harmon, President of the Illinois Senate, and ask him to rally his colleagues around this much-needed bill during a critical time in our state and country.
Now is the time to take your anger and harness it into action! Call your senator today! And if you’re looking for more ways to help, check out this article by reproductive health activist Annie Williams.
