Submit a Letter of Support to Appropriations: A Step-By-Step Guide
We are at the most crucial moment for the success of MENA Inclusion in California, and we need you to submit letters to continue supporting the fight.
The California State Legislature has an online system for individuals and organizations to submit letters of support or opposition on current bills.
We’ve created these step-by-step instructions about using the system to submit letters.
The instructions include screenshots (pictures) to help describe each step. We recommend printing or having these instructions on your computer as you submit your letter. If you have questions or suggestions, please get in touch with Amin at hello@aaciviccouncil.org

RE: Support for AB 91 (Harabedian) -- State and local agencies: demographic data
Dear Chair Wicks and Members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee,
My name is [Your Name], and I am writing to express my strong support for AB-91, the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Inclusion Act.
For too long, MENA communities have been invisible in California’s data systems, which has denied the community access to critical services, public health protections, small business support, and civil rights monitoring. AB-91 will correct this oversight and ensure that state agencies can identify, serve, and protect MENA Californians.
Given the new federal attacks on immigrant and minority communities, the need for AB-91 is urgent. California must continue to lead by protecting vulnerable communities and ensuring no one is left behind.
I respectfully urge you to support AB-91 and help build a more inclusive, equitable, and resilient California.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City, ZIP Code]
