SB902, SB1120 and SB1385 script:

           OK to call after business hours and leave a message. During business

           hours, you'll likely reach a staff person who will appreciate brevity. This

           script will take less than a minute, and could have decades of positive

           impact. Personalize to suit your style.

           •Hello. My name is __. I’m calling about three housing bills coming to the

             Assembly Local Government Committee on Thursday, August 11:

            SB902, SB1120, SB1385.  I urge a NO vote on each bill.

     •I live . . .(If you know you live in the committee member’s district use

                 o  Option 1:I live in the Assembly member’s district and would

                          greatly appreciate a vote that represents me, my neighbors,

                          and constituents, not developers and real estate investors.

         o    Option 2: Although I don’t live in ___’s district, this bill

                         negatively impacts all Californians, including me. It is poor

                         housing policy, and doesn’t address the need for truly

                         affordable housing.

             •Thank you . . . for voting against harmful housing policy.

                       Please vote to Nix the Nine: and nix SB902, 1SB120 and SB1385

Mark your calendar: August 11 at 9:30 am and plan to call in (three times - a call for each of the bills) to the hearing to encourage them to nix the three bills and nix the nine. You'll find directions at https://nix-the-nine.blogspot.com/2020/08/call-to-testify-at-committee-hearing.html
