Urge Governor Lujan Grisham to stand in support of HB 38.

February 24, 2021 by SWLC

Urge Governor Lujan Grisham to stand in support of HB 38.

Please call the Governor’s office today and urge her support for the state’s investment in a Paid Family & Medical Leave program. Governor Lujan Grisham makes the final decision about whether to sign the bill. She needs to hear what having a Paid Family & Medical Leave program would really mean for working families.

Where to call
Governor’s Office: (505) 476-2200

What you might say
“I am calling to urge the Governor to stand in support HB38. I believe that working families shouldn’t be forced to choose between paying their bills and caring for their health and their families. An investment in Paid Family & Medical Leave is an investment in New Mexico’s future.”

Urge House Appropriations & Finance Committee to vote “Do Pass” on HB38.

During the House Judiciary Committee, HB 38 got another committee assignment.  Our next stop is House Appropriations and Finance Committee, and we need to ask them to invest in working families by supporting HB 38. Time is of the essence.  We will provide an update when this is scheduled.

  1. Email/call members of the Committee to express your support for HB 38 and ask them to schedule and vote yes on HB38.
  2. Share this message widely. Mobilize your networks to email Committee members and ask them to vote yes on HB38.
  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.
