Top ways you can help, in order of effectiveness:
1. Contact your state senator and/or representative and urge him/her to support House Bill 1766. Ask if they are willing to support the bill and if you can schedule a meeting with your senator or rep to explain your personal story. Report the response to info@mahealthyworkplace.com. Since legislators want to hear directly from their constituents, the single most effective action you can take is to meet with your own legislators, tell them your story if you have one, and ask them to support the bill.
