Help stop North Carolina's dangerous "ag-gag" bill H.B. 405

 
Your help is needed to stop North Carolina's dangerous "ag-gag" bill before it makes its way to the House floor. On Tuesday, April 21, at 1 p.m., public comments on the bill, House Bill (H.B.) 405, will be heard by the Judiciary II committee. Please attend and urge members of the committee to vote NO on this bill!

If passed, H.B. 405 would penalize workers who document cruelty on farms, in laboratories, and in other facilities where animals are abused without employers' permission. A similar North Carolina bill was introduced and defeated in 2013.

The meeting will be held at the state Legislative Office Building, Rm. 421, 300 N. Salisbury St., Raleigh, NC 27603. To see if your representative serves on the committee, please click here.
