Great news from Virginia, where the State Senate passed a bill to ban junk fees! Huge congrats to Stella Pekarsky for championing this one.
🚨BIG: Nearly the entire Dem Caucus in the Montana State Senate just sent a letter in support of the FTC's proposed ban on junk fees!
Shout out to Senator Andrea Olsen for her leadership.👏
So grateful to work with our friends at SiX Action on this effort!
