[[link removed]] Dear John,

Your voice is urgently needed to support transgender kids and their families in Texas.

This Friday, officials with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) will hold a public meeting. DFPS is the agency tasked with carrying out Gov. Abbott's cruel directive that providing gender-affirming care be investigated as child abuse.

This is your chance to speak out.

We invite you to support transgender kids and their families by taking one or more of the following actions:

*
Submit

comment

:
Let
them
know,
in
your
own
words,
that
Gov.
Abbott's
directive
is
wrong
and
families
with
transgender
children
should
be
left
alone.
*
Share
your
story

If
you

partners

Our
partners
will
need
volunteers
to
attend
the
DFPS
meeting
in
person
and
read
the
anonymous
testimony
of
families
with
transgender
children.

Transgender children and their parents want to be left alone and their private medical decisions should be made in consultation with medical professionals, and without the interference of state politicians.

Let's all come together and support transgender Texans.

In unity,
