Calls-to-Action 

 

Campaign | Ohio SAFE Act Veto Override Campaign – Senate Effort (Completed) 

 

**WIN 1-18-2024 – This campaign focused on Ohio AMAC members compelling their state representatives to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of the SAFE Act. This legislation would ban mutilating transgender surgeries for minors (including administering puberty blockers) and keep biological males out of girl’s and women’s sports. Ohio AMAC members sent over 1,400 messages to their senators and the Ohio Senate successfully overrode the Governor’s veto by a 23-9 vote margin on January 24! The bill is set to become law on April 24! 

 

Campaign | Kansas HB 2284 Gubernatorial Campaign (Completed) 

 

1-23-2024 – AMAC members in Kansas sent Governor Kelly 715 messages telling her to sign a bill that would “axe the tax” on retirement income. Kansas is one of a handful of states that taxes retirement Social Security income. The deadline for her to sign is the end of January. Unfortunately, Governor Kelly vetoed the bill. 

 

Campaign | Georgia SB 355 (Anti) Ranked Choice Voting – Senate Committee and Full Senate (Completed) 

 

1/31/2024 – Supporting SB 355 is essential for Georgia to uphold the principles of clarity, accessibility, and consistency in its electoral system, while also avoiding potential challenges associated with the adoption of ranked-choice voting.  

 

**WIN – See update here: AMAC Action Ramps Up Anti-RCV Activity in Georgia Legislature 

 

Campaign | Georgia SB 355 (Anti) Ranked Choice Voting – House Vote (Active) 

 

1/31/2024 – Supporting SB 355 in the Georga House of Representatives is the other half of our combined effort to uphold the principles of clarity, accessibility, and consistency in its electoral system, and builds on our previous win (noted above) in the Geogia Senate. Keep up the good fight AMAC Action Advocates!

Quote of the Week 

 

The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure. The process is its own reward. 

 

~ Amelia Earhart
