BREAKING: Aimee Stephens, Don Zarda, and Gerald Bostock won! The Supreme Court ruled that it was against the law to fire our clients for being LGBTQ.

There is no question: LGBTQ people are protected from discrimination in the workplace.
This landmark victory is the work of decades of LGBTQ people — led by Black trans women — fighting for our community. It belongs to our clients Aimee, Don, and another plaintiff Gerald Bostock, and countless other individuals who spoke out when they experienced discrimination.
Our work is not done. We still need Congress to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in public accommodations, federal programs, and more.

Congress must pass the Equality Act NOW.

The Trump admin has issued a rule that will embolden health care discrimination against transgender people, those seeking reproductive health care, and many other individuals who need health care — all while a global pandemic is occurring.
1 in 3 transgender individuals in the US report experiencing discrimination in health care.

In states around the country, we at the ACLU are fighting to prevent trans and non-binary people from being turned away from health care.
Evan was turned away from a Dignity Health hospital because he is transgender. The California court of appeals ruled in Evan’s favor and Dignity Health recently has appealed to the US Supreme Court.

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced it will not sell face recognition technology to the police.
When even the makers of face recognition refuse to sell this surveillance technology because it is so dangerous, lawmakers can no longer deny the threats to our rights and liberties.
It should not have taken protests against police brutality and for Black lives, and the deployment of military-grade surveillance equipment on those protests, for these companies to wake up to the everyday realities of police surveillance for Black and Brown communities.

BREAKING: Amazon just announced it will impose a one year ban on the sale of its face recognition technology to police.
It took two years to get to this point, but it is about time Amazon started recognizing the dangers face recognition surveillance poses to Black and Brown communities and civil rights more broadly.
Face recognition technology gives governments the unprecedented power to spy on us wherever we go. It fuels police abuse. These dangers will not just go away in a year.
