Dear John,
Lillian’s List Foundation recruits and trains women to run, win, and become champions of gender equity in their local communities. And we are the biggest fans of the amazing female legislators currently advocating for their communities in the General Assembly.
To help amplify the work of these incredible women, we are featuring one each week in our #WomanCrushWednesday spotlight. This week, our #WomanCrush is Senator Julie Mayfield!

FEATURED BILL: FULL REPEAL OF HB2
In 2017, the horrendous anti-transgender bill H.B. 2 [[link removed]] was partially repealed and replaced with H.B. 142. While portions of the latter law have since been further repealed, the law remains on the books, including a provision [[link removed]] giving the General Assembly the sole authority to pass any future regulations related to government-owned bathrooms.
That's why Sen. Mayfield, along with her colleagues Sens. Murdock and Nickel, and Reps. Meyer, Morey, Butler, and John introduced the Full Repeal of HB2 [[link removed]] this March.
The bill would mean a full and clean repeal [[link removed]] of H.B. 142, getting the discriminatory law off of the books.
LGBTQ individuals in North Carolina deserve to live their lives with dignity and equality. It's beyond time to fully repeal the remnants of H.B. 2.
In solidarity,
Pia Nargundkar
Communications Director
