Dear Friend,

This Giving Tuesday help DC Jobs With Justice reach our goal of $25,000 by 2025 to stop the Trump agenda and support our communities. Give today

The attacks on DC autonomy have begun in the wake of Republican control of the House, Senate, and Presidency in 2025. As reported by NPR:

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina has introduced legislation that would ban transgender women from using facilities on federal property— like bathrooms and locker rooms — that do not correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth….The move comes just two weeks after Sarah McBride, D-Del., became the first openly transgender person elected to Congress

This law is a blatant attack on the newly elected Congresswoman. It is also an attack on DC.

The law bans gender-inclusive bathrooms in any building owned or operated by a “department or agency of the District of Columbia.”

These are the attacks that DC JWJ was preparing for when we helped organize Defend DC. We know we need a strong movement that will stand up for DC autonomy, stand up for our communities, and stand up for each other in the years to come.

This Giving Tuesday, help us reach our goal of $25,000 by 2025.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 in individual unrestricted donations to fuel our work in 2025. Every dollar allows DC JWJ to advocate and organize for emergent needs in our community.

Every dollar helps, give today.

In solidarity,

Elizabeth

Hola Friend,

Este Giving Tuesday ayude a DC Jobs With Justice a alcanzar nuestra meta de $25,000 para 2025 para detener la agenda de Trump y apoyar a nuestras comunidades. Done hoy

Los ataques a la autonomía de DC comenzaron a raíz del control republicano de la Cámara de Representantes, el Senado y la Presidencia en 2025. Como informó NPR:

La representante republicana Nancy Mace de Carolina del Sur presentó una legislación que prohibiría a las mujeres transgénero usar instalaciones en propiedad federal, como baños y vestuarios, que no correspondan con el sexo que se les asignó al nacer... La medida se produce solo dos semanas después de que Sarah McBride, demócrata por Delaware, se convirtiera en la primera persona abiertamente transgénero elegida para el Congreso

Esta ley es un ataque flagrante a la congresista recién elegida. También es un ataque a DC.

La ley prohíbe los baños inclusivos de género en cualquier edificio que sea propiedad de u operado por un "departamento o agencia del Distrito de Columbia.”
