Tell Speaker Heastie’s Office: Move Democracy Reform Bills Now!

We must show the Speaker how important democracy reform is to the vast majority of New Yorkers

Speaker Carl Heastie’s Office Number: (518) 455-3791

Sample Script:

Once you reach his office, here’s what you could say:

"Hello! My name is _____ and I live in _____, New York.

I’m concerned that the State Assembly is not prioritizing legislation to protect our democracy before this year’s legislative session ends.

You should pass bills that:

Reduce lines at the polls (A5934A)

Allow people to hand out water or snacks for people in line to vote (A1346)

Allow people who are worried about getting sick to vote absentee (A3291)

Stop counties from cutting election staff (A1258)

And make election data more accessible so we can be sure all eligible voters can really vote (A885)

Please support these bills and pass them in the Assembly before the legislative session ends. You shouldn’t waste this opportunity to pass pro-democracy legislation in New York.

Thank you for your time."

We appreciate you taking this step for our democracy! Let us know you made a call and what the response was by emailing Emily Gulick, Social Justice Associate, at egulick@circle.org. Thank you!
