Today’s Action: Tell your representatives to support the trans bill of rights!
Universal protections for transgender and nonbinary people are as crucial as ever in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Republican extremists are anxious to rip LGBTQ+ rights away and have already begun introducing bigoted legislation, like Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ridiculous “Protecting Children’s Innocence” Act. Conversely, the recently introduced — and long overdue — Trans Bill of Rights would protect transgender and nonbinary Americans from discrimination at the federal level.
The Trans Bill of Rights, if passed, will stop absurdly cruel right-wing efforts to make gender-affirming care for youth a federal crime and ensure that life-saving care, including hormone treatment, puberty blockers, and gender-reassignment surgery will not be denied to already marginalized children. The psychological war on at-risk LGBTQ+ youth perpetrated by the GOP must end.
Call (202-224-3121) or email your representatives and demand they support the immediate passage of the Trans Bill of Rights!
Pramila Jayapal, Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and sponsor of the bill, said the “Trans Bill of Rights says clearly to the trans community across the country that we see you and we will stand with you to ensure you are protected and given the dignity and respect that every person should have.”
An estimated 1.8 million LGBTQ+ young people consider suicide each year, according to the Trevor Project, and over two-thirds of of LGBTQ+ youth said their mental health has been negatively impacted by recent debates over transgender rights. Even the mere introduction of outdated, inhumane legislation puts the lives of children at risk — all for right-wing political posturing. The introduction of these radical ideas within our government amplifies transphobia and perpetuates hatred within our communities. We are running out of time to protect the most vulnerable among us.
Call (202-224-3121) or email your representatives and demand they protect the LGBTQ+ community and pass the Trans Bill of Rights!
