If you would like to attend in person, we will be meeting at La Bou, 1100 O St. St. in Sacramento starting at about 11:30. We will caravan people across the street to the Capitol.

We have two people that will give testimony in support. One  adoptee and one birth mother. After that, the rest of us can say one by one in 30 seconds or less that we are in favor of SB381.

 It it passes (we need 7 yes votes), it moves onto Senate Health etc. Think School House Rock at the state level! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ8psP4S6BQ 

Fingers crossed!!!!
