DONATE LIFE CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY CALL TO IMMEDIATE ACTION!
Dear California Donate Life Community:


On behalf of Donate Life California, I am hoping that you can help California with a critical bill to help us significantly increase the number of registered donors in California.

AB 1118 (John A. Pérez) would require California school districts to offer pupils who are enrolled in health classes during grade 9 or 10 at least 15 minutes of instruction on organ and tissue donation including the recovery process.

As of this July, California’s registry will be mature – that is, we will have completed our first driver’s license renewal cycle, so the only new designated donors will be first-time drivers or “holdouts” – people who did not check yet previously and will need more persuading. By opening up a direct education channel to first-time drivers, AB 1118 will perform an invaluable service to furthering the Donate Life mission.

In order to get this important bill passed, we need your help. Please open the attached letter template (Partner and Ambassador versions attached), add your personal information, apply your organization’s letterhead if applicable, and send your letter to info@donatelifecalifornia.org by Friday, April 8 so we can present your letter prior to its first committee hearing the following week. (You may also fax it to me at 213-633-1650 and I will forward the PDF.)

Thank you for your support!

Bryan Stewart, Donate Life California
