Let’s celebrate! ACES passed and MO can take a lot of credit for making that happen! More than 44 Representatives signed the letter to Speaker Pelosi, asking for the three amendments we wanted.
The JC-Hoboken Council was responsible for getting Rep. Rothman to sign it! Thank you Glenn for getting our meeting with his aide!
But the bill passed the House by only seven votes, and the Senate will be tough; we will also strategize what to do in August.
If you know anyone who would like to get involved, invite them to RSVP.
Next Thursday, July 9 @ 7PM we'll get together to celebrate and discuss the next steps. (at the moment we have not yet decided where we will meet, so check back at the link below for further details)
Here is the link to sign up for this brainstorming event:
