ALBANY RALLY & LOBBYING DAY

New York State Capitol
4 State Street, Albany, NY 12207
It is a new year, and you know what that means?
The New York State Legislature is back in session! It is time to pay attention and make sure you voice your concerns about bad bills. You never know what our legislators will do, but it is seldom good.
Our friends at Autism Action Network and Teachers For Choice are hosting a rally Tuesday, January 14th in Albany. Making it the perfect time to personally talk to your legislators!
We are going back to Albany to speak out about the bad and dangerous bills. We also want to encourage the legislators to pass good bills. It is important that you tell them how you want them to vote on these bills. Also, remind them to support our fight against the quarantine camps.
Read about the bills HERE.
