Friday Action Hour, December 13th at 11:00am. This week, we will review the final week of the State Legislative Session and the shameful passage of the so-called Hurricane Relief bill. We will also call Federal legislators about Trump Administration cabinet confirmations and demand that Senate leadership not allow HR 9495 to be included in the continuing resolution. If this bill becomes law, it will have a chilling effect on the free speech of non-profits, and it will offer the incoming administration a new weapon to punish and silence political opponents. Review this week's resources and actions on our Google Doc, and Join via this Zoom Link.
