Email every Senator's team

One email can reach every Senate office through the Legislative Director who handles these bills. Copy the full list, paste it into the BCC field so offices don't see each other's addresses, and send a single message.

Suggested subject: Please vote NO on AB 2047. Tip: paste into BCC, not To.

Scroll for the full list. The Copy all emails button copies every Legislative Director address above into one list, ready to paste into BCC.

Upload your story to the legislative portal

California's Legislature runs an official portal where anyone can submit information for legislative review. Share how you use 3D printing, your concerns about AB2047, and any data you have. It becomes part of the record that lawmakers analyze - no meeting required, just upload. This is one of the most effective things you can do.

Your use case, your concerns, your data. No meetings - just upload.

Outside the US? The portal only accepts US-based addresses, but your voice still matters - 3D printing is a global community, and California lawmakers should hear how far this bill would reach. Email the Senate offices listed above instead; every message adds to the record.

Who decides next: Senate Appropriations

Appropriations weighs what a bill will cost the state. Make that cost impossible to ignore: civil lawsuits against businesses, schools, and families; a new DOJ department to certify and police printers; and years of research into technology experts say can't be built.

Email the committee staff who analyze the bill's fiscal impact - tell them what AB2047 will cost. Tap any address to email that person directly.

Write in your own words - here are the points that matter

Personal letters from real Californians carry far more weight than form letters. Pick the points that matter to you and tell them why, in your voice:

• The bill does not make anyone safer.
• The bill contradicts itself - its manufacturer mandate points to certification rules that a later amendment deleted, so it requires compliance with rules that no longer exist.
• The required technology is not possible - 3D printers read code, not intent; they cannot tell what a shape is for.
• The bill requires software that, if it could exist, would violate the First Amendment.
• It disrupts education at every level - K-12, CTE, libraries, community colleges, and universities.
• It breaks open-source 3D printing, which most classroom printers rely on, by demanding open firmware be as locked-down as proprietary firmware.
• California businesses, schools, and citizens are open to civil litigation - forced to prove a negative to defend themselves.
• The penalties hit the wrong people - the $25,000-per-violation fines fall on schools, makers, and small businesses, while bad actors route around the law.
• The exemptions are undefined - the bill exempts printers sold "exclusively" to entertainment studios, but no printer is built for one industry, leaving makers and cosplayers out. Worse, it mandates technology that does not exist - read plainly, the bill requires every printer to run detection software that cannot be built.
