🔍 A Closer Look at Impact 🔍  Coalitions are not just support networks; they are powerful engines for legislative change. By uniting voices from various sectors to advocate for common goals, coalitions can push for policy reforms that might otherwise be unachievable by individual organizations.  The journey from concept to legislation is fraught with challenges, but coalitions navigate this path with resilience and determination, demonstrating the undeniable power of collective advocacy. At TWG, we believe in harnessing this power to create a fairer, more just society for all. #LegislativeChange #CollectivePower #PolicyReform

Transform’s advocacy has helped push a slate of excellent bills through the first step in the legislative process. All bills needed to move from the house in which they were introduced by mid-May to pass the legislature this year. Thirteen bills we support cleared this hurdle, a couple of good bills died in committee, a bill we oppose continues to advance, and we’re watching amendments to a top-priority bill to determine whether we can support it. Here’s the full recap as we move into the second phase of the legislative session. https://lnkd.in/ggTbRMan #legislativewins #transitreform #climateaction #equitabletransport #youthhousing
