ACLU Supporter: It's the first day of Pride Month – and while this should be a month of celebration and being in community, LGBTQ people are under attack.

Across the states, politicians are going after the rights of transgender and gender-nonconforming people – including blocking access to potentially lifesaving health care, banning kids from school sports, and restricting the First Amendment rights of drag performers. And on Capitol Hill, extremist members of Congress are trying to criminalize and strip trans people of the care they need to live.

We will never let that happen, ACLU Supporter. The ACLU is fighting back in every way we can, and we need you to join us today. To kick off Pride Month, please send a message to Congress, and tell them to reject any attacks on access to health care for trans people.

We all deserve the right to make decisions about our own bodies, our own futures, and our own lives – but that's not a reality for trans people across the country.

While the ACLU is fighting back at the state level – taking states to court over health care bans and sports bans – we also know this anti-trans movement is far from over.

A new bill was introduced by the most extreme anti-LGBTQ Members of Congress – led by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene – that would criminalize the lifesaving health care trans people need. And another bill prohibiting trans girls from being able to play team sports has already passed in the House. This is not the end of these attacks at the federal level.

That's why it's so critical that people like you speak up for trans rights every chance they get – on the first day of Pride Month and every day that follows. Please, send a message to Congress today calling on your elected officials to protect trans people from discrimination.

Thank you in advance for speaking out,
