Join Us! Lobby Day, Wednesday, August 21st We are having a lobby day for any supporters of our sponsored bills on Wednesday, August 21st. Our friends sponsoring AB 44 (Friedman) Fur Free Bill, led by HSUS, are having a rally at 9am that day on the south steps, which we will attend in support, followed by lobby meetings in the Capitol. We are all joining forces with as many animal rights/welfare groups that day to help lobby all of the life saving animal bills through their final legislative hurdles. If you would like to join the SCIL team that day in the Capitol to voice your support for the many animal bills, please email nick@socialcompassion.org and put "LOBBY DAY" in the subject and let him know you will be there. Also, please find out who your state representatives are and list them in your email to Nick. He will get back to you with more details.
