what you might want to do is talk to/listen to activists & organizers from that state, who know exactly the context of particular state legislation & what might be best course of action. Sometimes early attention is a good strategy. Sometimes taking oxygen away is better.

Whether a bill will go anywhere or not, it takes up capacity for those who do this work. We had to fight off drug-testing-for-TANF bills for 6 years, & did so successfully, but it was bc few ppl took it srsly right away in year one. We might’ve known we’d win but took capacity.

One of the biggest crises we are in: property is still valued—by law, by policy, by power—far above people, exacerbated by every corner of dual pandemics of COVID & racism.

Evictions, poor wages & unsafe workplaces, police violence—all protecting property at expense of lives. Property owners—in a pandemic—are fighting tooth & nail to preserve the right to evict those who have ppl staying w/them who aren’t listed on the lease. IN A PANDEMIC. When the safest action rn is to keep ppl housed, inside, & able to quarantine if need be.
