Former state Sen and lobbyist John Lindsay stands tall in Rotunda for the first time in 3 years. A strange neurological disease had left him wheelchair bound. What a great sight to see, truly a miracle!

SNAP is the difference between a hungry family and a healthy family. 10,000 Nebraskans will be left in the cold if SNAP eligibility reverts to what it was 3 years ago.

Now is not the time for Nebraska to move backwards. LB84 would keep food on the table. #NEleg @JenDayforNE

This is how government is supposed to work

“In Nebraska, we say we love kids and families, but we don’t do anything to help them.” - @SenMcKinneyLD11

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Overreporting unnecessarily drains child welfare resources, hurting everyone. It also subjects thousands of families to unnecessary and traumatic investigations. Expensive & highly invasive.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

That's a wrap on the hearing for LB271! Friends from @voicesNE, @ACLUofNE, and @NE_Children also shared their support.

Thank you for following along, and stay tuned for ways to support these important bills for Nebraska's young people 🙌

[Holland Children's Movement @HollandMovement]

Nebraska should support all children, including young people with juvenile justice experience. Today, we're testifying in support of #LB14, introduced by Senator @George4NE Dungan, which expands access to the Bridge to Independence program.

The attack on the dignity of transgender Americans is an attack on the dignity of all Americans. There is no world in which their freedom is suppressed and yours is sustained. Oppose anti-trans legislation. Contact your senator. The time is now. Lives are on the line. #NEleg

[Senator Terrell McKinney @SenMcKinneyLD11]

The session starts tomorrow; I ask everyone to fill the judiciary committee just like others for money, etc. We all have a part to play because you can count on the opposition being there!

[D Neary (She/Her) @Educ8Nebraska]

Hope friends will check out the new executive director of https://t.co/0LOS1fpRi7—@abbie_kretz! Ask her about the work she is doing to support local journalism and to involve more people in local civic engagement!

"The Unicameral was founded on Norris’ passionate endorsement, and it should be remembered that his nonpartisan vision was not peripheral — it was central to the unicameral reform.” https://t.co/ErvmervkPX

[George Dungan @George4NE]

Tomorrow kicks off our 2023 Legislative session and I couldn’t be more honored to be representing the people of Northeast Lincoln.

I’ve always believed RFK was right when he said “The purpose of life is to contribute, in some way, to making things better.”

Let’s get to work. https://t.co/VOHKd8kotB
