Adjourn

Next meeting Sunday April 28th, special endorsement meeting 1pm via Zoom.
Just when we thought we would finally end child marriage in California and eliminate a human rights abuse that destroys girls' lives, we learned a single powerful legislator plans to kill or water down the bill on Tuesday.
We cannot let that happen.
Please take a second now to submit a pre-filled email to the legislator -- and please ask all your friends to do the same.
Hope to see you soon!
Thank you,
Cathie Hyatt, President
