Tell D.C. Mayor: Veto Law That Lets Children Consent to Vaccines Without Parents Knowing

The law, passed Nov. 17, also requires insurance companies and schools to conceal vaccinations from parents.

Update, Dec. 16: DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has until Dec. 22 to veto, sign or let go into effect with no action bill B23-0171, permitting children 11 years old and older to consent to vaccines on their own without parental knowledge or consent. Please contact Mary Bowser today and ask her to veto the bill.

Update, Dec. 4: Due to a delay in getting this bill to Mayor Bowser, there’s still time for people to contact her and ask her to veto B23-0171

The Council of the District of Columbia City on On Nov. 17, passed the dangerous and predatory bill B23-0171 by a vote of 10 to three. 

This law will permit children 11 years old and older to consent to vaccines on their own without parental knowledge or consent.

The bill also requires insurance companies, vaccine providers and schools to conceal the fact that the child has been vaccinated from the parent. And it sets up these young children to be targets of bullying and coercion to be vaccinated behind their parents backs.

We need your quick one-minute action to reach out to the mayor of the District of Columbia, Muriel Bowser, to tell her to VETO B23-0171.

There are multiple federal and local laws that will be broken by this new law, including: the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and the Religious Exemption to Vaccination

B23-0171 is also in conflict with Supreme Court precedent affirming parental rights. It puts children’s health and safety at risk not only for serious reactions and possible death, but also puts children at risk of becoming victims of under-documented over vaccination.

Mayor Bowser has up to 10 days to respond. We need her to VETO this new law. Please help her get the message loud and clear that America is watching and this is not an acceptable action by government.

Contact Mayor Muriel Bowser today to VETO B23-0171:
