Subject Support HB 3071!

Dear State Representative,

Message

Young people in every part of Illinois need the most current and comprehensive sexual health education in order to develop the knowledge and skills to make healthy decisions throughout their lives. Those standards currently are antiquated and out-moded. They are not serving all students by providing the information they need.

The Illinois Healthy Youth Act (HB3071) addresses this deficit. It would build on the current standards for health and sexual health education by aligning Illinois with the National Sex Education Standards to provide young people in Illinois with a full toolbox of knowledge and skills.

The Healthy Youth Act expands the current requirement that instruction be medically accurate, developmentally and age appropriate to include instruction that also is culturally appropriate.

The bill also critically ensures that sexual health education in our state is inclusive and affirming of young people who have historically been invisible or stigmatized, including LGBTQIA and pregnant and parenting youth.

I urge you to sponsor and support the Healthy Youth Act.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
