Thanks justin for that.
Of course, this has not been introduced in either chamber of congress, but I did of course receive permission to share the news with you all. Decisions for next steps should be made by the end of the week so we will definitely let you know as more information comes out.
The reason I wanted you all to know the news is because a compromise has not been reached in months because we won't budge. We want equal access to education because that's what we deserve. Now, negotiations have ended with all parties satisfied, and this simply gives us the upper leg once we begin taking action. Though verbiage has been modified, our sole intent has not diminished.
Thank you for your time and I'm excited for the coming days!
Love,
Kate
