Hi John,

In 2022, 91 anti-trans bills have already been introduced in state legislatures - from athlete bans to bathroom bills, from “Don’t Say Gay or Trans” school bills to medical care bans.
 
These bills predominantly target trans youth and are rooted in disinformation and discrimination. The impact of these bills and the dehumanizing discourse advanced in legislative hearings and in the media is devastating for transgender people, their families, and our community as a whole. 
 
And it’s downright wrong. 
 
Trans people belong. 
 
In schools, in public spaces, everywhere.
 
Equality Federation is launching a $1M campaign that will demonstrate the unified power of the state-based movement to defeat anti-trans bills and win public support for transgender people. 

With your support, Equality Federation will coordinate the development and deployment of resources to state organizations allowing them to engage in public education and advocacy about trans young people. 

This will include:

• Direct cash grants to state organizations facing urgent legislative battles
• Rapid response mobilization through paid phone and text programs
• Messaging and communications toolkits and support
• Opposition research
• Spokesperson recruitment and training
• Leadership development
• Strategic support of state lobbying and grassroots organizing strategies

Join the movement today  to stand with transgender people and help advance equality in all the places we call home.

In Solidarity,

Fran Hutchins
