Action Alert – HB38 is moving to House Judiciary!

February 18, 2021 by SWLC

Thank you to everyone who reached out to members of House Commerce & Economic Development. HB38 passed the Committee 7-3.
 
Now, we’re on to House Judiciary, where HB38 – The Paid Family & Medical Leave Act – will be heard next week. We will update with the exact date as soon as possible. In the meantime, we need you to: 
 
1.  Email/call members of the House Judiciary Committee to express your support for the bill and ask them to vote yes on HB38.
 
2.  Mobilize your networks to email Committee members and ask them to vote yes.
 
3.  Prepare a public comment to share during the hearing.  We’ve seen the power of public comments. A 60 second story can persuade legislators and change votes. Reach out to us if you need support in preparing your remarks.
 
We will be in touch with more details for next steps once the hearing date is set.
 
Thank you for your dedication to ensuring equitable conditions and economic security for New Mexico women and families!


EN ESPAÑOL


Alerta para la acción – ¡HB38 será enviada al Comité judicial de la Cámara de representantes!


Muchas gracias a todos quienes se pusieron en contacto con los miembros del Comité de comercio y desarrollo económico de la Cámara de representantes.  HB38 fue aprobada por el comité con 7 votos a favor y 3 en contra.

Ahora vamos al Comité judicial de la Cámara de representantes, en la que HB38 -Ley de ausencia pagada por motivos familiares y médicos- será presentada la semana entrante. Les proporcionaremos la fecha exacta lo más pronto posible.  Mientras tanto, necesitamos su ayuda con lo siguiente:

1.  Envíe correos electrónicos/llame por teléfono a los miembros del Comité judicial de la Cámara de representantes para expresar su apoyo a esta iniciativa de ley y pedirles que voten a favor de la HB38.

2.  Movilizar sus redes de contactos para que envíen correos electrónicos a los miembros del Comité para pedirles que voten a favor de la iniciativa.

3.  Preparar un comentario de participación pública que sea compartido durante la audiencia.  Hemos visto el alcance que tienen los comentarios de participación pública. Una historia de 60 segundos puede persuadir a los legisladores y cambiar sus votos.

Estaremos en contacto para proporcionar más detalles acerca de los siguientes pasos una vez que se haya fijado la fecha de la audiencia.

¡Muchas gracias por su dedicación para asegurar las condiciones de igualdad y seguridad económica para las mujeres y familias de Nuevo México!
