✅ CALL TO ACTION – LAST CHANCE TO PROTECT WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Tuesday, April 21, 2026
This is it. “Strong Support for HB 1217, HB 1299 & HB 1447 – Protect Biological Reality”
The Governor has already vetoed these bills twice. Next week is the final public hearing before they go back to the full Senate for a vote. If we do not show up in force — in person or with powerful written testimony — these critical protections for biological sex in facilities, sports, and public spaces will die again.
The other side is flooding the Judiciary Committee with opposition. When I checked the submitted testimony, supporters were badly outnumbered. That ends now.
If you truly care about women’s rights, girls’ privacy, biological reality, and the right of BOTH sexes to have safe, private spaces, I NEED YOU to do your part. It is not fair to the rest of us who have been carrying this fight alone.
SHOW UP IN PERSON — your physical presence matters more than anything else.
OR submit strong written testimony if you cannot attend.
HEARING DETAILS (Tuesday, April 21, 2026)
Room 100, State House, Concord
HB 1217 – 1:30 p.m.
HB 1299 – 1:40 p.m.
HB 1447 – 1:50 p.m.
HOW TO TESTIFY IN PERSON:
Arrive early (by 1:00 p.m. if possible). Sign up to speak when you arrive. You do not need to stay for all three separate hearings. These three bills are very similar and address the exact same core issue. Simply testify on the first bill (HB 1217 at 1:30 pm) and clearly state in your remarks that your support and comments also apply to HB 1299 and HB 1447. You can then leave after your testimony — your voice will still be counted on all three bills.
HOW TO SUBMIT WRITTEN TESTIMONY
Email the Senate Judiciary Committee directly:

Sharon.Carson@gc.nh.gov
brendan.bunnell@gc.nh.gov

Subject line suggestion: “Strong Support for HB 1217, HB 1299 & HB 1447 – Protect Biological Reality”
What to say in 1–2 sentences (feel free to copy/adapt): “I support HB 1217, HB 1299, and HB 1447 because women and girls — AND men and boys — deserve single-sex spaces, sports, and privacy based on biological sex. These bills protect biological reality and ensure both sexes can have safe, private, dignity-respecting spaces free from members of the opposite sex. The ConVal Title IX investigation proves this is not theoretical — it is happening in our schools right now. Vote YES on all three bills.”
As New Hampshire State Leader for #WalkAway and Chapter Leader for the Independent Women’s Network – Southern NH, I am asking you directly: show up. Bring friends. Bring your daughters or sons. Bring your outrage.
This is the last time these bills will be heard in committee.
The Governor is watching.
The media is watching.
The girls — and boys — of New Hampshire are watching.
Do not let the other side outnumber us again.
I’ll see you at the State House on Tuesday, April 21.
In liberty and in courage,
Bronwyn Sims
New Hampshire State Leader, #WalkAway
Chapter Leader, Independent Women’s Network – Southern NH
