Veto day was yesterday, and we have some good news to share from the results of the voting. All of the vetoed anti-lgbtqia bills that were up for consideration had their vetoes upheld - which means that they will not become law.

How do we know if a piece of legislation is good or bad? We measure it against our policy platform. In early 2026 we drafted our first policy platform as an org. Over the past 7 months of legislative work, we've updated it to be more inclusive of our organizational values and our community needs.

NH just rolled back civil rights protections. In NH, once the Governor receives a bill, they have 5 days to veto, sign, or choose not to act. No action was taken on SB464, a law that increases the burden of proof for civil rights violations in NH, ensuring it becomes law.
