28 Feb Legislative Update and ACTION ALERT5!
Legislative Update: CALL NOW! Senate Bill 211 is on the move!!!
Yesterday, the lawmakers returned to Montgomery. Unfortunately Senate Bill 211 was not placed on the calendar for a floor vote. The next opportunity for the Children’s Equal Access Act (SB211) to come up for a floor vote is tomorrow, March 1st. So keep calling and emailing State Senators.
The Children’s Equal Access Act aims to maximize a child’s time with both parents during a divorce or separation. You can read and share the Talking Points here.
Action Needed: In order to overcome a fallacy that ALFRA is a father’s rights group that has conducted themselves unprofessionally, calls or emails need to be made to your Senator before 10:00 am on March 1st. We especially need more mothers to participate in this effort. Therefore, it would be great if your sister, mother, aunt, neighbor, and co-worker would make a call or email along with you. You can contact your Senator or send a group email to all of the Senators. You’ll find the information below.
When calling, urge your Senator to vote YES on SB211. Communicate to them that you deeply appreciate their commitment to doing what’s right in Montgomery by putting children and families first. Please vote YES on SB211. (It’s that simple, no long conversation needed.) As a reminder, please always be respectful and courteous with your communications.

Thank you for standing up for families and innocent children who do not have a voice in this matter. Together, we will make a difference and let our voices and concerns be heard in Montgomery. Watch for a similar action request soon for your State Representative when the bill goes to the House for a vote.
Debbie Zeiger
ALFRA Vice President
