<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>Thank you all for your continued support of privacy legislation
in California. We're working to fight the bad bills that passed
out of the Assembly Privacy Committee. We're also ramping up
support of Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson's S.B. 561, which includes a
key piece of A.B. 1760: the private right of action, which allows
people to sue for all violations of CCPA.</p>
<p> On both efforts, it will make a <i>huge</i> difference to have
your diverse and powerful voices speaking up for privacy.<br>
</p>
<p><i><b>S.B. 561</b></i> is running on a short timeline, and we
need to drive calls and support over the next week to make sure it
gets out of the Appropriations Committee. There are three things
you can do to support S.B. 561:<br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>1) Call your senators to say you support S.B. 561—particularly
if you're a constituent:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Chair Portantino (District 25-Glendale)</li>
<ul>
<li>Sacramento office: (916) 651-4025 <br>
</li>
<li>District office: (818) 409-0400</li>
</ul>
<li>Sen. Hill (District 13-San Mateo, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale,
Mountain View)</li>
<ul>
<li>Sacramento: (916) 651-4013</li>
<li>District: (650) 212-3313</li>
</ul>
<li>Sen. Bradford (District 35 - Carson, Compton, Inglewood, San
Pedro)</li>
<ul>
<li>Sacramento: (916) 651-4035</li>
<li>District, Inglewood: (310) 412-6120</li>
<li>District, San Pedro: (310) 514-8573</li>
</ul>
<li>Sen. Wieckowski (District 10 - Hayward, Fremont)</li>
<ul>
<li><b> </b>Sacramento: <strong></strong>(916) 651-4010</li>
<li>District: (510) 794-3900</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>2) Sen. Jackson will be hosting an open question-and-answer
session (AMA) on Reddit on May 8th at noon. Please support her
and the bill. We will share the link when it is available.<br>
</p>
<p>3) Actions/blog posts to share:</p>

<p>As for the <i><b>CCPA-weakening bills</b></i> that passed out of
the Assembly Committee, we continue to oppose. Please reach out to
