Introduction

Hi, 

The legislative session of North Dakota is an absolute gauntlet. There is so much information, coming at you so quickly, that it can feel impossible to keep up. That's why I keep my finger on the pulse and make all of this information as digestible as possible, as quickly as possible. I have a show, a news letter, I've itemized all the bills by risk and protective factors. and have a ton of resources and other advocacy organizations. 

I am your one stop shop for everything you need this session and if I'm not, I can direct you to who is! Take care of yourself though, drink water, be kind, and keep hope. We got this. 
Love, Faye

Every Bill by Risk/Protective Factor 
I have organized every bill across the session by the ones that I believe will contribute to suicidality. This allows us to get a quick glance at what our government is looking to do in both good and bad ways for public health. I welcome recommendations to add to remove any bills I have, as I may have missed or misunderstood the bills while reading through them.   
The Pulse Nightly Show
The Pulse is a nightly show that focuses on informing and empowering individuals to get involved during our legislative session. It will run every night starting on Jan 1st and end when the last bill from the legislative session is signed by Governor Kelly Armstrong. This page will hold all the landing links and resources discussed during the show and future actions to take. 

Details
  • Will be released at 10:00 PM every night on YouTube

  • Will align with suicide prevention, social work, and human right values, and cover each LGBTQ+ Bill.

  • Follow me on Bluesky @northdakotafaye.bsky.social or Facebook.
