Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Craig they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

How to reach him:

Harrisburg
717 783 3154

Quakertown
215 536 1434

What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.

“Craig Staats, a Mastriano ally. Ironically, Staats has an office just two blocks down from the building the Planned Parenthood used to operate out of, yet not one protester I met with mentioned Staats making it a point to speak or even acknowledge them. Several attempts were made to speak with Representative Staats about the weekly rallies though he has not returned any messages or calls.”
