NC House to Vote Monday on Anti-Bullying Bill
6/18/2009 - The NC House will debate and vote on SB 526, the School Violence Prevention Act during their session Monday night at 7:00 PM. The vote Monday night will make or break our effort to pass effective and inclusive anti-bullying protections, and it will be the toughest yet. Equality NC calls on our supporters to take action to shore up support for the bill.
The final outcome could go either way, and what we do over the next four days could make all the difference.

Our supporters have generated hundreds of emails to representatives, and we've delivered over 4000 postcards showing support for the bill as well.
But the right wing is putting all their energy into stopping this bill. Ensuring legal discrimination against LGBT people is more important to them than keeping kids safe.
With your help, we can get these important protections into state law and make school better for so many young people.
