The Michigan senate just passed the bill package to end child marriage that we’ve been promoting for seven years. !!! And the house passed the same legislation yesterday. !!!
Each chamber now needs to pass the other’s legislation. If they do, the bill package — championed by Sen. Sarah Anthony and Rep. Kara Hope — then goes to the governor’s desk.
We write this from Sacramento, where we just Chained-In to urge legislators to end child marriage in California. And we’re heading to Connecticut tomorrow to watch the acting governor sign the child marriage bill into law. We won’t rest until we end child marriage in every U.S. state.
