Lobbying at Chapel Hill

On behalf of IYTC, founder and president Lisa Lu traveled to Washington D.C. to lobby to Senator Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris, and Representative Judy Chu S655 (SAFE Kids Act) and HR2339 (Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic of 2019). Back at home, the IYTC team further discussed HR2339 with Congresswoman Chu, who decided to cosponsor the bill afterward. This bill was passed in the entire House on February 28, 2020, impacting 42 million teenagers nationwide.
