National Center for Transgender Equality Action Fund

Once again, the Trump Administration is proposing new rules that would
expand the ability for faith-based organizations to discriminate
against transgender people under the guise of "religious
freedom." This extremist plan will hurt the LGBTQ community, of
which trans people are especially vulnerable.

If passed, this bill will not only allow faith-based organizations
that receive taxpayer money--money that you and all members of the
LGBTQ community have taken out of our paychecks each week like
everyone else--to turn people away for being trans, but they
wouldn't even have to give people a referral elsewhere so they
can get the help they desperately need. So when trans people come to
them needing help, these faith-based orgs can just kick them to the
curb with nowhere else to go. We believe in the golden rule around
here, and this is certainly not "do unto others as you would
have them do unto you."

Even more egregious, eight different federal agencies are to adopt
these new rules at once as a part of a broad, sweeping attack on our
community. We can't, and won't stand by as the trans
community is targeted like this.

We believe that religious freedom is important, but everyone should be
able to access government-funded services without being deprived of
either their religious freedom or civil rights. And no one should ever
be forced to choose between accessing services and who they are.

Together, we can oppose these dangerous and discriminatory
regulations.

Submit a letter today calling on the Trump Administration to abandon
these harmful plans.
