@asmgailpellerin.bsky.socialI was proud to stand alongside child marriage survivors Sara Tasneem, Christina Sutton, and Courtney Stodden; CCSWG Executive Director Darcy Totten; and Assemblymember Petrie-Norris as Governor Newsom signed AB 1267 into law.
@asmgailpellerin.bsky.socialThey told us what it means to be a child in a marriage you didn’t freely choose, about coercion and abuse hidden behind the appearance of consent, and how difficult it can be as a minor to ask for help, find an attorney, leave home, or escape the very adults who are supposed to protect them.
@asmgailpellerin.bsky.socialSurvivors have always been the heart of the effort to ban child marriage. This win belongs to them.
@asmgailpellerin.bsky.socialAB 1267 has just been signed by the Governor, officially setting a minimum age of 18 for marriage in California with no exceptions.
@asmgailpellerin.bsky.socialWe got some incredible budget wins for #AD28 and sent 14 bills to the Governor, thanks to my Capitol team's dedication. Serving as your Assemblymember is my profound honor, and I appreciate all who contacted me with their opinions— every call, email, and letter builds a stronger democracy.
@asmgailpellerin.bsky.socialThe 2026 legislative session has concluded. The last 2 weeks have been filled with very long days of briefings, debates, and voting. We got through it with the help of legislative spirit week, birthday cake, and camaraderie.
