On Wednesday, March 18th, the MN Senate Education Committee will
vote on a bill to address harassment and bullying in Minnesota
schools. The “Safe Schools for All Bill” will strengthen existing
bullying and harassment laws with express protections for children
of LGBT parents.

Here is what you can do to ensure that the Safe Schools for All
Bill is sent to the Governor’s desk:

Contact members of the Senate Education Committee. Tell them
to vote in favor of the bill. You can write them and let them know
that you support the “Safe Schools for All Bill” (SF 971/HF 1198)
because all students should feel safe to learn in school.

Sample Email

Dear _______, I am writing to ask you to support the “Safe Schools
for All Bill” (SF971/HF1198). Schools are already working hard to
provide a safe environment for learning, but, unfortunately,
students still face bullying and harassment. This bill will
strengthen existing bullying and harassment laws. It’s simple but
its impact is far reaching. Let’s help our schools provide a
safe environment for all of Minnesota students. Thanks for all of
your work.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
