URGENT: Idaho CANNOT Be the Only State to #SaveGirlsSports!

Save Girls' Sports Week has been a success so far, thanks to
your help spreading the word to kick off the campaign. Now it's
time to take action. Please sign this petition to lawmakers asking
them to #SaveGirlsSports in their own states.

With your help, we hope that more state legislators will be empowered
to sponsor bills that #SaveGirlsSports, just like Representative
Barbara Ehardt did in Idaho.

Rep. Ehardt was a Division I NCAA basketball competitor and coach. In
both roles, she saw how strong and talented women could be - and
she developed a great appreciation for the gift of separate
men's and women's sports divisions.

She knew that letting males compete in female sports wouldn't
be fair. And she knew that it was time to put that on the record in
her home state of Idaho.

As a state legislator, Rep. Ehardt has been a champion for
Idaho's female athletes, where she sponsored the Fairness in
Women's Sports Act. Family Policy Alliance of Idaho was the
leading organization on the ground shepherding the bill all the way to
veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers and the Governor's
signature. Your outreach to elected officials played a significant
role in making that happen: thank you.

The Fairness in Women's Sports Act is a simple law that ensures
girls' sports are reserved for girls. No boys allowed.
It's a recognition that men have certain athletic advantages
over women, and that even when men identify as women and try to
"transition," those advantages (gained in puberty)
aren't eradicated.

Without a law like Fairness in Women's Sports, males could have
the opportunity to win female-only competitions - and the
scholarships and other elite advancement opportunities that come with
them.

SGS Dont Let ACLU
Sadly, Idaho is the

only state with a law like Fairness in Women's Sports today
- and its law is under attack. The ACLU has sued the state and
seeks to enjoin the law. They're also pressuring the NCAA to ban
NCAA-sponsored events in the state as "punishment" for
this good law. And, this week California banned state-paid travel to
Idaho as its own form of punishment.

It shouldn't be that way. Girls in every state should have the
opportunity to compete on a level playing field, and no state should
be attacked simply for protecting girls' sports.

That's why Family Policy Alliance is on a mission to
#SaveGirlsSports. Many of you have helped spread the word over the
last few days - thank you.

Now it's time to take action. If you haven't already,
please sign this petition

to state lawmakers supporting laws like Fairness in Women's
Sports. Your voice is critical to help pass laws that Save
Girls' Sports in other states in the future. Every voice
matters. When you've signed, you may consider sharing with your
friends who care about saving girls' sports.

Our daughters may depend on it.
