New from Equal Rights Advocates: Urge CA Gov. Brown to Sign the #TakeTheLead Bills & Combat Sexual Harassment

 

Right now, California Gov. Jerry Brown is deciding whether to sign or veto the strongest slate of anti-sexual harassment bills our country has ever seen. He must decide by Sept. 30!

Sexual harassment should never be the price of a paycheck. We need to ensure ALL working people have equal opportunity to thrive and succeed at work, and that serial harassers are held accountable. 

Let’s tell Gov. Brown: It’s time to choose a side. You’re either with women, or you’re against us. Urge the Governor to sign the historic #TakeTheLead bills into law using the links below.

These four urgently needed bills to combat sexual harassment have passed the California Senate and Assembly. Now, the only thing standing between us and these historic bills becoming law is Gov. Brown’s signature.

It’s time for California to #TakeTheLead on ending sexual harassment and set the stage for the rest of the country to pass similar legislation. 

We can do this. Literally. Let’s end sexual harassment!
