A rough day on the Hill. HB1949 (the bathroom bill) passed the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee and moves on to the full committee. Jace Wilder is fighting like a Justin gave moving testimony against it and we are all grateful for his work.

Cecilia was a fierce legend who truly changed the world for the better. We are forever thankful to have worked alongside her— her impact will last for generations to come.

May her soul rest in perfect peace🤍
