Call to Action - SB9 has passed - please call your senator to voice your OPPOSITION to this bill

Hello everyone:

The Senate State Government Committee has voted on SB9 and passed it 6-4. The vote was along party lines. SB9 would require proof of citizenship in order to receive any public benefits or services provided by agencies receiving government funding. This includes programs for job training, healthcare, education and food assistance from state government agencies or any of its grantees. This is one of the bills we advocated against on Statewide Latino Advocacy Day.

This is the 1^st of 5 steps toward enactment, and we need to do everything we can to stop it now. Follow up your words from Advocacy Day and call your state senator (find your senator by entering your zip code at www.legis.state.pa.us). You can also look at SB-9 and see if your Senator has signed on to the bill (SB 9), or if your Senator is on the State Government Committee – make sure you include this information when you call and SPREAD THE WORD!!!!

Tell your Senator: I am a Constituent of _________ and I OPPOSE the passage of SB9!"
