URGENT: Call your IL State Senate on Wednesday!
Yes, another plea for my Illinois readers to please call your elected official! This is super urgent folks!
The Illinois Senate voted on SB 1619 (Comprehensive Sex Ed). Unfortunately, we fell one short with a vote of 29 YES – 26 NO – 1 PRESENT.
The good news is that one of the YES votes was not at the capitol today. Therefore, the sponsor Senator Steans requested that SB 1619 be put on the Order of Postponed Consideration which allows bills that only fall a few votes short to have another chance for a vote.
La Raza ran a story on Latinas and sex ed.
We are making progress on SB 1619!
