**Updated** Call to Action for May 2nd: Oppose Bill #AB 458

by

2nd Nevada Committee Hearing for Bill #AB458 scheduled for Thursday, May 2nd at 1:30 p.m.

The Nevada Senate Revenue Committee is set to hear bill #AB458 on Thursday, May 2nd. As a reminder, this bill will REMOVE the 10% annual increase in scholarship funding needed to keep the program growing.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Las Vegas and Carson City to testify against the bill at the Assembly in early April. We ask that you please come out again this Thursday to make sure your voices are heard in the Senate this time!

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS BAD BILL WHICH ENDS ANY ANNUAL INCREASE IN THE OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

  1. Please come out to the meeting on Thursday at 1:30 PM and tell the committee members that you OPPOSE bill #AB458. If you feel comfortable taking 1 or 2 minutes to share with the committee why your child needs this scholarship you will be able to do that too. We will have people there to meet you and give you stickers to wear.

You can attend the meeting in Las Vegas or Carson City on Thursday, May 2nd at 1:30 p.m.:

BILL #AB458 HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DESTROY THIS INCREDIBLE LIFE-SAVING PROGRAM AND WE MUST MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD TO CHANGE THE COMMITTEE MEMBER’S HEARTS AND MINDS. WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY!

Thank you again and we can win this fight if we all stand up for our children!
