I have some fantastic news to share about progress in California. AB 1267, a groundbreaking bill to end child marriage, has just passed the Assembly with a unanimous vote of 78 to 0. This bill ensures that marriage is limited to those 18 and older, with no exceptions. It's a huge step forward in closing the loopholes, but our work isn’t finished yet.

Currently, California shockingly has no minimum age for marriage. Zero! This bill aims to change that and secure the protection every child deserves. AB 1267 represents a massive opportunity to make California the 18th state to ban child marriage. But it’s critical that we carry this momentum forward all the way to the Governor’s office.

Governor Gavin Newsom holds the power to make this bill a reality by signing it into law. We need to ensure Governor Newsom knows that California supports this vital change. This isn’t just another piece of legislation; it’s a lifeline for countless young individuals who deserve the right to a childhood free from the shackles of child marriage.

Let's make sure Governor Newsom hears us loud and clear: we want AB 1267 signed without delay. Join us in calling for this essential action to protect our children and secure their future. Stand with us, and let’s see this bill through to its completion.

Please sign and share the petition to urge Governor Newsom to sign AB 1267 into law and end child marriage in California once and for all.
