Legislative Update for the Week of May 19, 2025

As the legislative session heads into its final stretch, the atmosphere is becoming increasingly chaotic and is expected to intensify before adjournment on May 31st. This week marks the critical deadline for bills to pass out of their originating chamber, creating immense pressure to secure the necessary votes. Compounding this challenging environment is a deeply problematic budget, making this a particularly difficult time for progressives.

You’ve been making a real difference by contacting your state senators and representatives! Your ongoing calls and emails are the key to stopping several harmful bills from moving forward. The vote count is incredibly tight right now, so we need to keep the pressure on.
