Make it count.
AB 2047 gets decided by people, in hearings, on dates. Numbers move them, and so do real voices. Here is the ladder, easiest first. Climb as high as you can.
Sign the petition · 1 minute
Anywhere in the world. Every signature is email-verified and named, which is exactly what makes the total citable when it lands on a lawmaker's desk.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation leads the legal fight and has turned "tell my lawmakers" into a one-click message. It matches your address to your own legislators, so this one is for California residents, the constituents those offices actually answer to. Add a personal line: who you are, what you make, what this bill would break.
Write to lawmakersIn the US? Email the Senate offices · 5 to 15 minutes
The biggest single effect on this list. Direct email to the offices running the vote is the strongest move a US resident has, and the definitive toolkit for it already exists: every Senate office address with a copy-all button, letter templates, a representative finder, and the current hearing dates. We are not going to duplicate the best resource in the fight; we are going to send you to it.
Open the action hubWear your badge · 1 minute
After you verify, you get a numbered signer badge and a public page. Put the badge in your forum signature, your site, your profile, and send righttomake.com to one maker, teacher, or engineer who should be counted too.
Then stand out with it: post about why you signed, make a short video explaining what this bill breaks, get your company or community on board, and talk to people about what is happening here. Most people still have no idea, and the ones who explain it are the ones who grow this.
Sign and get your badgeThe action hub at step 3 is the work of David Tobin and the makers around the 3D Printing Nerd community. He has led the fight against AB 2047 from the committee rooms outward, and the hearing dates, contact lists, and templates there are kept current by the people closest to it.
One signature starts it.
The emails to Sacramento land it.
