Subject: URGENT CALL TO ACTION! Support SB3340, Kiki's Law
Hello Advocates,
Our allies are in urgent need of support TODAY. SB3340, The Protective Medical Freedom Act or Kiki's Law, was scheduled to be heard in the House Immigration and Human Rights Committee tomorrow May 13th at 2:00pm. Unfortunately, Chair Hernandez (D-50), decided to cancel the committee meeting. If the bill isn't heard in committee, it won't have the chance to pass the House and be signed into law.
We are asking everyone to call Chair Hernandez' office and ask for 4 things:
Reschedule the Immigration and Human Rights Committee
Call SB3340 during committee
Grant an extension for the bill to pass out of committee
Vote yes in support of SB3340
Please call her district office, regardless of whether or not you are a constituent of the 50th District.
Contact information for Barbara Hernandez (D-50), Chair of the House Immigration and Human Rights Committee:
District Office: (630) 270-1848
Email Address: [email protected]
Sample script:
"Good Afternoon, my name is (name). I am a resident of Illinois and a proud advocate. I am calling to speak with Representative Hernandez regarding SB3340, The Protective Medical Freedom Act. SB3340 is an important bill that would give individuals wearing medical masks protection against discrimination.
For many people who have disabilities or are immunocompromised, mask-wearing allows them to move through their communities without the fear of getting ill.
Masks give people with disabilities freedom and allow them to interact with their peers and live fulfilled and happy lives. SB3340 would enshrine the right to mask and would show our communities we care about their safety and happiness.
SB3340 was scheduled to be heard in the House Immigration and Human Rights Committee tomorrow. Unfortunately, that committee has been cancelled. I am calling to ask Representative
Hernandez to:
~Promptly reschedule the Immigration and Human Rights Committee
~~Call SB3340 during committee,
Grant the bill an extension to pass out of committee
~Vote yes in support of the bill.
Thank you for your time, your support of our community, and for fighting for fair and equal treatment of all residents of Illinois."
Please place your calls to Chair Hernandez today, and if you have capacity, please call as many times as you can. We are asking for people to show their support by flooding her district office phone line to show that we the people want SB3340 to pass! As usual, please be respectful and courteous as you speak to her staff.
THANK YOU
