Friend –

The ACLU is fighting back against the ongoing attacks on trans people's rights, abortion rights, and all our civil liberties – and right now, this fight is turning urgently toward Capitol Hill.

Here's the situation: Congress is back in session and working to pass the annual defense policy bill (the NDAA). But extremist politicians in the House are attempting to use this moment to slip in amendments that undermine critical civil rights and liberties, including for uniformed service members and families of service members.

In fact, two amendments would effectively block service members and their families from having access to life-saving, gender-affirming health care – as well as undermine service members' access to abortion and reproductive health care.

These anti-trans and anti-abortion amendments are two of the many discriminatory provisions that the House will vote on tomorrow – and there is no time to lose on this. We at the ACLU are strongly against this and have already been urging all members of Congress to vote against these amendments.

But we need as many community members as possible reaching out to Congress alongside us. ACLU Supporter, please, we need your activism in this moment:

ACLU Supporter, we promise this will only take a few quick moments to complete and it will make a big difference in this fight. The more constituents Congress hears from right now, the more they will know we are paying attention to how they vote.

This is how we will show up for all of our rights now and always. Thank you for being with us in this urgent work.

Onward,

The ACLU Team
