Trans and non-binary people face discrimination that makes everyday tasks like going to work or going grocery shopping more difficult, if not dangerous. The Trump administration has encouraged opponents of equality, but we won't back down.
No matter where you live, you should be demanding that candidates for Congress pledge to support the Equality Act, a bill that would fill significant gaps in legal protections for LGBTQ people nationwide, as well as update protections for women and people of color.
In every state and every community — trans and nonbinary people belong. We will fight to ensure our laws reflect that.
In places where hard-fought protections already exist, your vote may be critical to keep those laws in place. Nowhere is this more clear than Massachusetts, where a 2016 nondiscrimination law is under attack by opponents of trans equality.
The #YesOn3 campaign is talking to Massachusetts voters every day about why nondiscrimination laws matter. For this campaign to win, every #ACLUVoter in Massachusetts needs to show up on November 6 to fight back against lies about trans people.
Local school board members can often have just as much, if not more, impact on trans and nonbinary students as state or federal lawmakers.
And school board members representing nearly a quarter of all students are on the ballot this year.

States introduced 20 bills that would grant a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people based on a person's religious beliefs in 2018, and we're likely to see more next year.
The best way to stop anti-equality bills nationwide is to vote like your rights depend on it. Period.

Bottom line: Trans and nonbinary people are under attack, and we can't back down.
