New Jersey Humanists: Support Childhood Vaccinations!

Facebook Twitter Email Share
February 26, 2019 Action Alerts

Dear Friend,

Right now, thousands of American children are at risk of getting sick and dying because they remain unvaccinated. Thankfully, states like New Jersey are working to remove some of the exemptions which prevent kids from getting the medical treatment they need.

A bill in the New Jersey state legislature, A-3818, would remove the religious exemption as a reason parents can refrain from having their children vaccinated. This is a HUGE step forward for New Jersey that could save not only the lives of countless children, but the adults they interact with on a daily basis.

Can you take a moment right now to ask your state Senator and Assemblyperson to support this important bill?

As humanists, we recognize that this is our only life to live. That’s why supporting medical technology that can lengthen and improve our lives is so important. Stand up for children’s healthcare by contacting your state officials today!

Thank you for helping make sure that our children have access to the best healthcare possible.

Sincerely,

Roy Speckhardt

Executive Director
