FW: Fair Elections Hearing in Senate Judiciary 3/31 @ 4 pm

[Hiles, Jonathan]

Hi RISCC members,

Would anyone like to represent RISCC tomorrow in testifying on behalf of clean elections? This bill (see below) is crucial to the passage of environmental legislation, and the voice of RISCC would demonstrate the breadth of the clean elections coalition as well as RISCC's influence in the broader progressive youth agenda. I've attached a testimony that anyone who would is interested in testifying can use to inform the Senate Committee about RISCC (a brief paragraph on why RISCC supports the cleans elections bill should be added). Please email Libby Kimzey (cced) if you're interested or have any questions.

Best,

Jonathan

I will be there.

I can do it, but would it mean more if it were from an actual RI resident?
