John,
Last week, Republican Rep. Barbara Dittrich reintroduced a pair of regressive bills that unjustly target LGBTQ+ youth and would put elected officials in charge of deciding what sports kids in Wisconsin can play.
No politician should take away our freedom to be ourselves. Stand with Wisconsin's LGBTQ+ youth.
Leading experts agree that access to extracurriculars like youth sports is essential to children’s development – and no kid, regardless of age or gender identity, should be barred from building on their talents and learning skills like teamwork and leadership.
Instead of focusing on the things that we know promote healthy experiences in youth sports, like fully-funded schools that can provide high quality coaches, resources, and facilities, Rep. Dittrich and other right-wing lawmakers are trying to use Wisconsin kids as political tools meant to distract and divide.
Your legislator needs to hear from you!
Demand your legislator stand with everyday Wisconsinites in making our state a place where all kids are free to be authentically themselves, play the sports they love, and know that they belong.
Thanks for all you do. A Better Wisconsin Together
P.S. Thanks to progressive leadership from Gov. Tony Evers, a similar bill package failed in 2021. We hope that legislative Democrats and Gov. Evers will once again stand in opposition to this egregious attack on Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ youth.
