We are in a crisis moment.

At least 93 anti-trans bills have now been introduced across the country.

48 are anti-trans sports bills. 29 limit medical care.

4 have already been signed into law.

Here's our latest state update and how you can help fight back. 1/

In South Dakota, Governor Kristi Noem failed to get the anti-trans sports bill she wanted. Then she issued two executive orders to similar effect banning trans women and girls from playing sports.

Gov. Noem's orders cannot withstand legal scrutiny.

Last week in Arkansas, Governor Asa Hutchinson signed a bill that would allow doctors and health care workers to deny services to LGBTQ people, along with an anti-trans sports bill.

This week, he could sign legislation banning health care for trans kids.

Trans youth in Arkansas need all of us to speak up.

Call or email Governor Hutchinson and demand a veto:

Last night, Tennessee legislators voted to advance a bathroom bill—the same failed attack on LGBTQ people that damaged North Carolina’s reputation in 2016 and led to then-Governor Pat McCrory’s defeat and disgrace.

Call your legislators if you live in TN.

This week, Alabama legislators are on the verge of passing a bill making it a felony to provide gender-affirming health care to trans kids.

Call your legislators if you live in Alabama and demand they vote NO on HB1/SB10.

An anti-trans sports bill, AL HB 391, could also be heard this week in the Senate Committee on Education Policy.

We held a rally outside the Alabama State House today to protest the attack on trans lives in Alabama.

Despite the harm they’ve already done, Arkansas continues to push forward with additional anti-LGBTQ legislation.

This morning marked hearings for a constitutional amendment that would ban trans kids from playing sports and a bill requiring parental notification for sex-ed.

In Florida, hearings are being held this week on an anti-trans sports bill and a bill requiring parental consent for sex-ed.

In Montana, we could see the anti-trans sports bill HB 112 come up for a final vote this week.

Two other bills await votes bringing them to the verge of passage: SB215, which would allow discrimination under the guise of religious freedom, and SB99, which would allow parents to opt their kids out of K-12 sex ed.

In Kansas, the anti-trans sports bill SB 208 passed the Senate and was sent to the House.

In Missouri, the anti-trans sports bill HJR 53 could be on the House floor for a vote this week.

And in Tennessee, legislators are advancing a slate of hateful bills among the worst we’ve seen across the country.

Last week, Governor Bill Lee signed an anti-trans sports bill into law.

This week alone, Tennessee legislators are hearing bills to:
- Make the requirements for nurses assisting trans kids more burdensome
- Require parental notification for sex-ed
- Ban LGBTQ content in textbooks
- And pass a bathroom bill

Trans kids are kids. These bills are targeting children who are trying to be themselves. Our rights and our lives are at risk.

If you live in any of these states, please call your legislators now.
