A message from our Executive Director, Abbi Swatsworth ⬇️
ALT Beloveds, yesterday was tough. Today, I feel a bit tired. But I am also feeling so proud - no one can say our Nebraska queer and trans community sat this one out. The nation is watching us speak out against this awful legislation. I have heard from all over the country how much this work means. Stay tuned for news about when to show up at the Capitol again. This is indeed what democracy looks like. Much love to you all and thanks for being engaged. Every email, call, meeting, and chant inspires me. Thank you again, Abbi, Executive Director

Former state Sen and lobbyist John Lindsay stands tall in Rotunda for the first time in 3 years. A strange neurological disease had left him wheelchair bound. What a great sight to see, truly a miracle!

SNAP is the difference between a hungry family and a healthy family. 10,000 Nebraskans will be left in the cold if SNAP eligibility reverts to what it was 3 years ago.
Now is not the time for Nebraska to move backwards. LB84 would keep food on the table. #NEleg @JenDayforNE
This is how government is supposed to work
Republican Gov. Jim Pillen stepped across the political aisle Thursday to testify in support of a bill to bolster mental health care.

Overreporting unnecessarily drains child welfare resources, hurting everyone. It also subjects thousands of families to unnecessary and traumatic investigations. Expensive & highly invasive.

That's a wrap on the hearing for LB271! Friends from @voicesNE, @ACLUofNE, and @NE_Children also shared their support.
Thank you for following along, and stay tuned for ways to support these important bills for Nebraska's young people 🙌

Nebraska should support all children, including young people with juvenile justice experience. Today, we're testifying in support of #LB14, introduced by Senator @George4NE Dungan, which expands access to the Bridge to Independence program.

The attack on the dignity of transgender Americans is an attack on the dignity of all Americans. There is no world in which their freedom is suppressed and yours is sustained. Oppose anti-trans legislation. Contact your senator. The time is now. Lives are on the line. #NEleg
Heartless. After a hearing with parents and youth begging state senators to respect medical consensus and protect access to gender-affirming care, this is Gov. Pillen's response. LB 574 is cruel and unconstitutional. We'll keep doing all we can to stop it.

The session starts tomorrow; I ask everyone to fill the judiciary committee just like others for money, etc. We all have a part to play because you can count on the opposition being there!

Tomorrow kicks off our 2023 Legislative session and I couldn’t be more honored to be representing the people of Northeast Lincoln.
I’ve always believed RFK was right when he said “The purpose of life is to contribute, in some way, to making things better.”
Let’s get to work. teapawt.net/George4NE/status/16104…
