History was made today!

AB1242, the Human Right to Water bill passed the CA state Senate today!

This is the first human right to water bill to ever make it through a state legislature in the US. This bill makes sure that all of our sisters and brothers in California have access to clean water. I did just a little work on lobbying for this bill through the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry (UULM) of California. Some members of my congregation signed letters and many UUs have called their elected officials about this bill. What happened today is truly amazing. I am filled with joy to have been a part of this justice-making work. The bill will need approval of the Governor, so there's still work to be done. Check out UULM's website: uulmca.org
We can make a difference - every single one of us!
