In 2021, anti-trans sports bills gave been defeated in South Carolina & Utah, but signed into law in Mississippi. And 25 other states have pending legislation.
Recently, in part because of the hard work of organizing & public outreach (thank you to everyone who contacted her), the South Dakota governor vetoed HB1217 - but sent it back to lawmakers to edit & try again.
Here are action items for this weekend to help fight against this attack on transgender youth:
SOUTH DAKOTA: This weekend, if you live in or are from South Dakota, do business or know people there, please reach out to South Dakota lawmakers telling them to vote NO on HB1217, especially in the Senate.
TENNESSEE: HB3 will be heard on Monday. Contact your representative & tell them to vote NO on HB3 & SB228.
ALABAMA: HB391 is moving swiftly.
This weekend, if you live in or are from Alabama, do business or know people there, please reach out to lawmakers telling them to vote no on HB391. Also contact the Gov to veto this bill if it makes it to their desk.

ALABAMA: HB1/SB10 would criminalize providing or even giving a referral for gender-affirming care to minors. It would be a FELONY to give youth the care they need. Tell your lawmakers to vote NO on HB1/SB10 as well.
Sports bills are often linked with bills limiting or banning health care, or bills that would prevent trans people from having ID that matches who they are ... because this isn’t really about sports. It’s about trying to push trans people from public view.
