Bill in Jeopardy - Keep California's LGBT Students Safe

Bill in Jeopardy - Keep California's LGBT Students Safe

The Issue

Seth’s Law is at risk. This critical bill, named after Seth Walsh, who took his own life after years of bullying at school, would tighten anti-bullying policies in schools, helping LGBT students to be safe and ensuring that more youth don't take their own lives because of bullying. Stand with Speaker Perez and Chairman Fuentes. Help them pass the bill through the Appropriations Committee without paring it down. Our youth deserve to be fully protected.
