Nearly Half of America is Working to Save Girls Sports-Because
of You

Last year, Idaho became the first state in the nation to pass Save
Girls' Sports legislation. Family Policy Alliance was honored to
play a leading role in this win, yet we knew we couldn't stop
there. Protecting girls' ability to compete fairly in athletics
in one state is a good first step - but we must work to ensure
girls win in

every state in our nation.
Legislation like Idaho's Fairness in Women's Sports Act is
crucial to preserving the rights of female athletes to compete on a
level playing field - one without biological males. Save
Girls' Sports laws ensure that our daughters and granddaughters
have the opportunity to win races, stand on the podium, earn titles
and scholarships - and

maybe even an Olympic medal. Sadly, without these legislative
protections, biological males can and do take away our girls'
ability to triumph on the field, in the pool, and wherever athletic
competition takes place.

In an effort to generate nationwide awareness and support for
legislation to protect female athletes, FPA launched a campaign to
#SaveGirlsSports last summer. Many of you took to social media to
share personal stories and messages of support for protecting female
sports. Some of you even posted videos and updated your profile
picture with a #SaveGirlsSports filter we provided. Thousands of you
visited our campaign website and signed our petition - which now
has the endorsement of more than 9,500 Americans.

Through the fall and winter, we have continued our campaign to Save
Girls' Sports via social and traditional media, working in
alliance with many likeminded organizations, and through direct
contact with legislators supportive of our efforts.

I am thrilled to tell you that as of today, 20 states* have introduced
Save Girls' Sports legislation-and we know more are
coming! So far, three of them - Mississippi, Montana, and
North Dakota - have successfully passed a bill out of one
chamber (House or Senate), and many more are currently considering
bills at the committee level.
In addition, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act has been
introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S.
Senate. (Thank you, Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) and Sen. Mike Lee
(R-UT)!)
This type of legislative success - at both the state and federal
level, in just one year - is not only remarkable, but also very
promising at a time when much happening in politics is discouraging.
Policy changes tend to move very slowly; these results would not have
happened without you!
We want to keep the momentum going! Here's what you can do
to help:
* If you haven't done so already, sign our petition to
#SaveGirlsSports. This show of widespread support makes a real
statement to lawmakers who can move the ball forward.

* If your state is not one of the 20 in the nation to currently
have Save Girls' Sports legislation, contact your
representatives and ask them to introduce a bill. (*See the list
of states below.)
* If your state has Save Girls' Sports legislation, contact
your representatives and ask them to cosponsor the bill.
* Contact your U.S. representative and senators to ask them to
support the federal Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
From all of us at Family Policy Alliance, thank you for taking action
and making your voices heard to Save Girls' Sports. You
are truly making a difference!
For our daughters,
Amanda Banks
