This bill does seem very important. It is hard to know what will help or hinder the political process, so I recommend that folks in the EA and LW community don’t try to do a public coordinated effort try to influence the content or outcome of this proposed bill—at least for now.
My understanding is that the people involved in drafting this bill are aware of the EA and LW community, so they know they can reach out when and if they think that would be helpful.
In general, expressions of support for the bill will (modestly) help its passage. So, if you think this is a good bill and you live in the United States (1) call or write your Senators and urge them to support it; and (2) call or write your member of Congress, mention the Senate bill and urge them to introduce such a bill in the House.
If you think there are issues, then you should do the same thing, but instead note the issues and you should also write/call Senator Peters’ Washington Office with the same message.
Please don’t do this. The bill is unlikely to pass on its own, but could be included in other bills as long as it’s not a hot-button topic, and bringing attention to it is almost certainly counterproductive.
