Map created and compiled by Erin in the Morning. Read more about the data here or follow her on Twitter here.
Trans journalist Erin in the Morning has released the latest Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Assessment Map, John. And as you can see, over half of U.S. states have passed bills that threaten trans rights and make trans people unsafe.
This is absolutely unacceptable - and we're not going to start fighting until we turn this whole map blue. Pitch in today to elect LGBTQ+ candidates who will fight back against hateful bills and ensure our community is safe!
If we're going to turn the tide in states like Idaho, Oklahoma, Texas or West Virginia, we need to double down to build a strong pro-equality pipeline in these states. And it starts by electing LGBTQ+ candidates like Nikson Mathews, who's running to be the first out trans person elected in Idaho. Or like Lauren Ashley Simmons and Molly Cook, who will be essential voices for equality in the Texas legislature. Or like Rosemary Ketchum, (the general election is TONIGHT!) who is running to be the first out trans mayor of Wheeling, WV.
John, it's unacceptable that trans people are being targeted at such a national scale. And we're not going to stop working until LGBTQ+ rights are secure. Help us elect the LGBTQ+ candidates who will work to repeal these horrific bills. Donate today!
