SB277 Becomes Law

Yesterday the Senate voted to approve the amendments to the bill, today Governor Brown signed SB277 into law.  (Press Release Here) Many of our core volunteer group came to a press conference where we celebrated this momentous occasion for public health.  We are so grateful to the courageous leadership of Senators Pan and Allen, Assemblywoman Gonzalez, the work of our coalition partners, but mostly…..we are grateful to be part of this broad, caring, community committed to the wellness of our kids and each other. Your letters, calls, support made this happen.  Thank you.  Here are some links to recent news stories.
