Call The Representatives on the House Education Committee and Tell Them to Support HB 879!
We've Gotten the Bill This Far, But It's a Long Road to Go
Raleigh - House Bill 879 is getting ready to be heard by the House Education Committee and the opposition to Abstinence Based Comprehensive Sexuality Education are mobilizing with a goal to kill it where it stands.  The Bill made it out of the Health Committee "without prejudice," which means the members voted to send it on without going on record whether they support it or not.  What does that mean?

It means that we need to double our efforts to keep the Bill alive and moving forward!  We need to pick up the phones and call the Representatives and let them know that we support the health of our youth and that means we support HB 879.
Who Ya Gonna Call? The Representatives!

Keep Up the Pressure and Keep the Bill Alive!
Call these representatives.  Call them at the office and call them at home.  They're our public servants: we elected them and they report to us.  Don't be afraid to let them know what you think and why.  Be polite, but be direct.

This Bill is opposed by a very vocal minority.  73% of parents in North Carolina told DPI that they want comprehensive sexuality education in public schools.  Don't let them tell you that we are a minority.

We were the silent majority.  But we're not going to be silent anymore.  Take a stand, call the reps and let your voice be heard: We support real health education for our children.
