Pro tip: Call the state office and talk to a staffer. Politely state your case on why a 10-year Ban on State AI regulation would be terrible. Then ask “what’s the Congress-member’s plan”. If the congress-member has made a statement against, thank them!! If not, politely urge them to do so! It works!

Your calls shows the opposition party they can get a visible win if they push! Your calls can also peel support back from the initiative. In the House we only need 4 votes to tank this. It becomes infinitely more difficult in the Senate, so please, for the love of god, call!!

But Karla, does calling even do anything? YES it frickin’ does!
I’ve spoken with so many folks in politics and the ONLY thing that can counteract moneyed interests from getting what they pay for is OVERWHELMING public pressure!
That’s it! Nothing else! Your calls matter! Your attention matters!

Now the Reconciliation Bill is terrible, so a lot of groups will be (rightly) fighting to kill the worst parts of it. We MUST mobilize as well! We cannot allow lawlessness to be the rule of the land.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

I will say, we need to get ready to organize for pushback on this.
EO aren’t that binding, so legislation would need to pass for it to work.
If you aren’t already, get comfortable connecting with your representatives, because if Big Tech gains traction on this we need to move en masse to stop it.

Google joins the call to gut our legal protections, pushing for a world where Big Tech gets to profit from all your innovations & works for free, and that theft is ok’d by law.
No joke IF they get this, the US will likely face irreparable harm as pivotal creative economies crash.
