This is great ya’ll - I love to see the ideas being offered! Keep this coming and perhaps you can then make a list of all suggestions and then talk through the top three that you all agree on submitting. I’d like to offer some suggestions in addition to the great ones presented.
Gun Laws - We’d have to do some research to see what would be the most reasonable thing we could organize around that has a high change of success and moves the needle (as opposed to my dream regulations). It may have changed since I last dug into this but I would recommend closing loopholes and/or stricter training – something that would get bi-partisan support, move the needle, and make a difference (the trifecta we need imo)
Outdated Toxic Car Seat Laws - Full transparency, I’m pregnant so learning a lot about something I never thought about. This may be considered low on the list of things like campaign finance reform, but it seems like something worthwhile, doable, and we could actually get done. Getting accomplishments on the board for us as a community builds our strength and ability to get more done. Anyway, if you’re curious here’s some info about the last time U.S. laws on toxic car seats were updated (1981 I believe): https://www.ecocenter.org/our-work/healthy-stuff-lab/reports/toxic-inequities-2022-car-seat-report#:~:text=An%20outdated%20U.S.%20federal%20flammability,Highway%20and%20Traffic%20Safety%20Administration.
