URGENT: The Texas GOP is continuing to attack trans children and their families. We need to fight back by hitting them where it hurts most: their wallets. |
John, our trans children and loved ones are being attacked by the GOP.
Last week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered that Texas parents be investigated for child abuse — and possibly even separate their children from loving and supportive families – simply for affirming their child’s gender expression.
Last year, Abbott called three back-to-back special legislative sessions, and in every single one he put discrimination against transgender children on his priorities list.
Advocates and organizers on the ground did everything they could to fight against these bills, session after session. But the Republican-led Texas legislature jammed these hateful bills through to Abbott’s desk, including banning transgender youth from participating in school sports with their peers.
Loving your child isn’t abuse. Republicans’ transphobic bills will harm lives and tear families apart. So we have to hit them where it hurts – in their wallets.
It’s absolutely critical we stop this attack on trans children and we know that the best way to pull the attention of these Republicans is by pulling support from their biggest financial donors.
Women’s March will continue to fight alongside the LGBTQ+ community and we are ready to protect trans children in Texas and everywhere. Join us by signing our petition calling on companies to stop bankrolling extremist, anti-trans politicians.
To trans youth in Texas and across the nation:
You are loved.
You are beautiful.
You belong.
In solidarity,
Women’s March
