While going down a Legiscan rabbit hole, I noticed that apparently California has fixed its whole "child marriage was somehow still legal in this state in the 21st century?!" problem.

It is now NOT legal anymore. Good.

We would like to affirm our support for #AB1267, which would set the marriage age in California at 18, without exceptions.

Thanks to the support of Atheists United donors, our Executive Director Evan Clark was able to travel to Sacramento this June to lobby for bill AB1267, which would end child marriage in California.

California is one of only three U.S. states that has no minimum marriage age.

This is horrible, and Im really trying to not lose hope that AB1267 (the bill to end child marriage in CA) will still get signed.

TY, Governor Newsom, for signing #AB1267, making CA the latest state to ban child marriage. This long-overdue step will help protect CA’s children & ensure they have the opportunity to grow up free from forced marriage. TY @asmgailpellerin.bsky.social for your leadership on this important issue!

Im genuinely worried hes gonna veto AB1267: the bill to make child marriage in CA entirely illegal.

His veto record is pretty dogshit and our state has no marriage age minimum, which puts underage girls in danger of human trafficking.

Please GOD, dont let him veto AB1267.

AB1267 banning child marriage is headed for Gavin Newsome’s desk. After he signs it will take effect on Jan 1.
Girls won’t be sold off to old men, and their decisions will be their own, as adults.
