John,
The Idaho legislature just became the first state in the country to pass a bill that bans transgender youth from participating in sports. When the world is paused during the coronavirus scare, we can’t help wondering why this bill is even being considered. Rather than supporting each other, the Idaho legislature is targeting vulnerable transgender youth. HB500 sends a startling message to transgender youth across the country, and Governor Brad Little needs to know you won’t stand for it.
Please urge Governor Little to veto HB500.
Being a kid is hard enough. We should be making it easier, not harder.
Transgender youth in Idaho, like all young people, should be able to be part of a team and play the sport they love as their authentic selves.
Will you urge Governor Little to veto HB500 and to protect trans youth athletes?
In Solidarity,
