This is an attack on trans people's right to participate in public life.

ACLU Supporter, the Trump administration has been fueling cruelty against trans people from day 1 – including an effort to restrict their freedom of movement and control their identities.

This is utterly dangerous – which is why we at the ACLU have already filed a federal lawsuit to shut down Trump's order restricting their passports.

But while the case proceeds, the State Department is already blocking trans, intersex and nonbinary people from getting passports that align with their gender – a move that would out people when flying, opening bank accounts, enrolling in school, and more, and would subject them to discrimination and violence.

The government is receiving public comments on this until March 17 – and it is critical as many of us take action as possible: Tell the State Department to stop these attacks on our rights and reject this dangerous policy change. <[link removed]>

This policy is yet another step in the Trump administration's plan to push trans people out of public life, ACLU Supporter – this time forcing people to risk violence every time they need to show ID or travel.

Regardless of who you are, what you look like, how you dress, or where you're from, you deserve the right to move freely in the world without facing discrimination or harassment. This policy is wrong, harmful – and illegal.

But while we fight back in court, we need our entire community to join us in sending a message to the State Department halting this order and preventing massive harm while our case proceeds. If you agree that discrimination must never be the law of the land, urge the State Department to block this attempt to roll back our rights. <[link removed]>

Every person deserves the freedom to be themselves without fear.

Together,
