Friend –

The right to access both abortion care and gender-affirming care gives us the freedom to determine our own paths in life and to defy barriers that oppress and erase women and LGBTQ people. The same lawmakers who are attacking our reproductive freedoms are attacking our trans communities for these very reasons.

Our legal, policy, and organizing teams are working both at the federal level to stop anti-trans and anti-abortion bills – and with our affiliates and coalition partners in every state, D.C., and Puerto Rico to fight against attacks across the country.

We know you're with us in this critical work and we will continue providing ways to take action and support people's rights. Here are two quick resources to check out immediately:

1. Go to our Abortion Criminal Defense Initiative page: Through this Initiative, we'll establish and work alongside a nationwide network of highly qualified criminal defense attorneys to work with the ACLU to defend against criminal investigations, charges, and prosecutions for abortion care.
2. Go to our state legislation tracker for LGBTQ equality. We're tracking anti-LGBTQ legislation across the country and you can join us in staying informed about where the fight remains urgent nationwide.

ACLU Supporter, we are here and we are ready to fight on with you – and alongside you.

Laws attacking our freedoms don't change the truth of who we are – or our determination to control our own bodies and futures. Thank you for being with us and we'll be back with more soon.

With you in the fight,

The ACLU Team

P.S. We know the fight can be overwhelming, especially given the impact much of the work has on our own lives and loved ones' lives. Please take a moment to care for yourself where you can and know the ACLU will continue showing up for your rights no matter what. Now and always.
