Dear John,
Update: there's only one week left to make your voice heard for trans and intersex youth! We're leading the Let Us Play campaign to make sure that trans and intersex youth can play sports with their friends – and we need you.
The right to play is being threatened – and in some states, already taken away – all around the country. But we have an opportunity now to get protection at the federal level! The Biden-Harris administration and the U.S. Department of Education are proposing a new rule that would make it so that students can’t be banned from playing sports just because they're trans, nonbinary, or intersex. This rule is an important step forward - but we want it to be as inclusive as possible.
The time is NOW for us to tell them what we think. We want full and equal participation for ALL trans and intersex students in sports. Young people can speak out too - there's no age requirement to submit a comment!
Here's what you can do right now:
We need you to make your voice heard. Tell the federal government that you support full inclusion of trans youth, from kindergarten to college – because trans kids deserve to play.
- Learn more and submit a comment at letusplay.team
- Join us for the Trot for Trans Lives - a virtual 5k that's all about trans inclusion!
- Post on social media encouraging people to submit comments! Tag us and we’ll lift up your voice.
- Encourage your friends and family to submit a comment too!
We only have until May 15 to submit a comment and make sure the federal government knows that we MUST fully include all trans youth in sports! With your help, we’ll make sure that all our voices are heard.
