John,
The NCTE Action Fund has been calling for the Democratic debate moderators to ask a question about transgender rights, and last night, they did just that. It was the first time this has ever happened on the debate stage.
Trans people have experienced a constant onslaught of hostile actions and dangerous erosions of our rights under the Trump administration. It’s time for us to elect a president who cares about trans people, our families, and our allies. Through the “Transform the White House” Project, we have been asking the candidates where they stand on issues important to the transgender community. We are glad that both Senator Sanders and Senator Warren had the opportunity to answer questions during last night’s debate as to what they would do to stop violence against trans people.
As we move towards a new year, please consider making your gift to the NCTE Action Fund so that we can prepare for the fight ahead in 2020.
In Solidarity,
Mara Keisling
Executive Director
National Center for Transgender Equality Action Fund
