What's at Stake

AB 1578 forces government officials into anti-hate-speech training with no definition of 'hate speech.' This opens the door to silencing officials who hold sincere Christian convictions.

CFC Analysis

This bill requires California state and local officials to complete regular anti-hate-speech training, but it doesn't define what hate speech is. Many Christian beliefs are accused of being hateful. We suspect this bill will be used to shame Christian officials to endure training on how their beliefs are hateful and should never be expressed or tolerated.

Call Script
Hello, my name is {YOUR NAME}, and I am a constituent calling to ask your legislator to vote NO on AB 1578. This bill requires government officials to undergo anti-hate-speech training, but it never defines what hate speech actually means. Without a clear definition, this training could be used to pressure officials with sincere religious beliefs into silence or shame them for expressing their faith-based convictions in the public square. Every Californian deserves elected and appointed officials who can serve with integrity and freedom of conscience. Please vote NO on AB 1578. Thank you so much for your time.
