***Important*** If you sign the petition, please indicate in the comments section whether you are a youth (0-17) or an adult (18+). This is purely for demographic purposes; everyone is encouraged to sign. Thank you!


House Bill 639 is a proposed bill in the North Carolina General Assembly that would prevent teens from accessing mental and reproductive health services without a notarized parental consent form. Currently, the bill is in front of the House Judiciary Committee. The passage of this bill would have strong repercussions, especially because it would prevent a large group of youth in our state from accessing necessary health services. 


By signing your name here, you are showing the Congresspeople at the General Assembly that their constituents do not support this bill. Please sign your name and urge your friends and family to do so as well. Please also consider contacting your senator and representative directly to voice your opinion. The website for the General Assembly is http://www.ncleg.net/, where a list of the districts can be found. Thank you for your support!


If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

I have been glued to my email staring at these notifications because the stories you all are leaving in the comments are just heartbreaking and honestly make it so clear why this bill is such a disaster. I spent the morning digging through the legislative calendar again and it is frustrating how slow everything moves but please keep leaving those notes about your age range because it helps me keep the data organized when I eventually sit down with the committee representatives.

I really thought this might just fizzle out but seeing the momentum build makes me feel like we might actually get someone in that committee room to pay attention (finally). It is honestly wild to see so many people caring about this as much as I do though I still need to fix my keyboard because it keeps skipping letters.

This is honestly scary. Not every kid has an home life where they can just talk to their parents about this stuff. Some teens are going to get hurt.

18+ adult. Keep your hands off our healthcare. This bill is a joke.

Adult here. Leave personal health decisions between a doctor and the patient. NC politicians have real problems to fix instead of this nonsense.
