These 30 state legislators have already committed to co-sponsoring the workplace anti-abuse Healthy Workplace Bill, to be championed by Senator Paul Feeney (D-Bristol Norfolk) and Rep. Russell Holmes (D-Boston) next session starting in January. (Compare this number to the 49 sponsors we had last session, and we still have another month before the next session begins.) Some of them have never supported the bill before even though they've been in the State Legislature for years:

Rep. Alan Silvia (D-Fall River)
Rep. Steven Ultrino (D-Malden)
Rep. Aaron Vega (D-Holyoke)
Rep. Jonathan D. Zlotnik (D-Gardner)

Let's keep the momentum going
These new legislators who haven't committed to co-sponsoring the bill need an extra push since they're brand new. Since they don't have state email addresses yet, write them through Facebook, especially if you live in their districts. If you live in their districts, schedule an appointment with them, share your story, and bring this flyer with you.

Get your story in the packet for legislators at the hearing next spring
We're assembling a booklet of written testimony from workplace bullying targets for legislators for the next legislative session starting in January. If we can include your story in our testimony packet, email it in one page to Greg at gsorozan@nage.org by the end of this month. 

Feel free to use this framework if it's helpful:
Where did you work and what did you do?
How did the bullying begin? What tactics were used?
How did you feel?
How did it escalate?
How did your employer react (or not react)?
What was the impact on you?
What was the impact on the organization?
Why do you want workplace bullying legislation to pass?
What advice do you have for others going through bullying at work?
