Please contact your state politicians in Georgia to express support for Senate Bill 383!  This is a proposed law that Hannah has spearheaded, working with Senator Nan Orrock.

Please contact your State Senator and Representative in Georgia and urge them to support this important piece of legislation. Link to find your state politicians:  https://openstates.org/find_your_legislator/

Here is content you can use (feel free to modify and make it your own) to call or email your Georgia representative and senator 

"I am _____name______ and I am asking for your support for Georgia SB 383, which would ban the purchase or sale of ivory and rhinoceros horns within our great state. Each year, thousands of elephants and rhinos are killed by poachers in order to harvest their tusks and horns.

Elephants and rhinos are some of the most majestic creatures on earth. Sadly, they are currently on the path to extinction. In the early 20th century, there were approximately 10 million elephants in Africa. In 2016, scientists estimated that there were less than 400,000 remaining. And there is an elephant killed every 15 minutes, which means the population is reduced by over 30,000 annually. And with fewer than 30,000 rhinos in the world today, scientists warn that rhinos could be extinct in a decade. 
​
Criminals are capitalizing on loopholes in US regulations. As a result, seven states have taken action to ensure they have no part in ivory and rhino horn trade. Let’s make Georgia the eighth state to show the world that extinction is not an option."

ks for shari sdcng the article, and more importantly, your personal experience mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate sdcdcsdv by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
