I fought the YMCA after they banned me for protecting girls in the
locker room and won a $65,000 settlement. Help us keep fighting.

Patriot_,_
What if this happened to you, your daughter, or your granddaughter?
I’m 84 years old, and for many years I trusted the government-owned
pool that the YMCA operated near me as a safe place for women and
girls.
UNTIL ONE DAY.
I was taking a shower in the women’s locker room after a swim and
when I heard a man's voice, I pulled back the curtain to look.
I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EYES.
A biological man dressed in a women’s swimsuit, was standing with
two young girls, helping one of them remove her swimsuit so she could
use the toilet.
Shocked and concerned for those little girls, I did what any
protective woman would do.
I spoke up and asked him to leave the women’s space.
The YMCA’s response?
THEY PUNISHED ME.
They called my concern “DISCRIMINATORY,” banned me for life from
all their facilities, and even called the police on ME, not the man
in the locker room.
DONATE NOW. STAND WITH JULIE [1]
[Locker room] [1]
THAT DAY, THE YMCA MADE ITS PRIORITIES CRYSTAL CLEAR: radical gender
ideology over the privacy, safety, and dignity of women and
children.
BUT I REFUSED TO BE SILENCED.
The CENTER FOR AMERICAN LIBERTY took my case and filed a federal
lawsuit against the YMCA and the City of Port Townsend, Washington,
demanding accountability for violating my First Amendment rights.
NO AMERICAN SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
TODAY, WE HAVE A MAJOR VICTORY.
I have reached a $65,000 settlement with the City of Port Townsend and
the Olympic Peninsula YMCA. The settlement includes payment of legal
fees to the CENTER FOR AMERICAN LIBERTY.
As their CEO Mark Trammell said, “This case was never just about
one woman being banned. It was about the fundamental right of every
American to speak truth without fear of retaliation.”
My courage sent a powerful message:
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE YMCA CANNOT SILENCE CONCERNED WOMEN WITHOUT
CONSEQUENCE.
Supporters like you made this victory possible, and your continued
support will power the next battles.
DONATE NOW. STAND WITH JULIE [1]
Across the country, institutions still prioritize ideology over the
safety and privacy of women and girls. Women are still being punished
simply for speaking up.
THAT’S WHY I’M ASKING YOU TO STAND WITH ME TODAY.
WILL YOU HELP SEND THIS MESSAGE EVEN LOUDER?
Will you help defend the fundamental rights of women and girls to
safe, single-sex spaces?
