[Jeanine Silversmith]

😃 Thanks to many of you writing to the Senate Environment & Agriculture Committee last week, S-2438 was amended to match its House companion bill (H-7342A) and passed out of committee. S-2438A will be considered on the Senate Floor TOMORROW! 

⏰ Please email the Governor, Senate President, and YOUR Senator with the following information by 4pm tomorrow, Tuesday, June 9: 

To: gove...@governor.ri.gov; Rico...@governor.ri.gov; sen-l...@rilegislature.gov; [find your senator here and email them at sen-LA...@rilegislature.gov]

Cc: in...@rieea.org (to let us know you took action!)

Subject Line: Pass the School Waste Recycling and Refuse Disposal bill (S-2438A)!

Body of email (revise as you see fit):

Dear Governor McKee, President Lawson, and Senator [your senator’s last name]:

I am writing in support of S-2438A School Waste Recycling and Refuse Disposal. This bill will help districts save money, address food insecurity, and cultivate responsible stewardship of environmental resources. [Add something personal here if you can.]

Thank you for supporting this bill and the youth who have been working so hard to pass it!

Sincerely,

[Your name, city]

Jeanine
