CALLS NEEDED TO OPPOSE THE BILL PRIVATIZING CHILD WELFARE SERVICES

The bad bill privatizing Child Welfare Services continues to move. It’s in the Senate Rules Committee waiting to be scheduled for a vote of the full Senate.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION ON SB 5943!

Senate Bill 5943 is coming up for a vote on the Senate Floor. This is the bill that calls for the contracting out of all child welfare services (CPS and Investigations are exempted.)

We need calls and emails opposing the passage of this bill

Call legislators at 1-800-562-6000 (8am-8pm M-F/9am-1pm Sat).

Tell them: Please oppose SB 5943. This investment in private business will cost social workers their jobs and benefits, and vulnerable children will be at risk.
