🚨ACLU MOVES TO INTERVENE IN CHANDLER V. CDCR🚨

This week, ACLU filed a Motion to Intervene in WoLF’s California lawsuit challenging SB 132, which allows men who self-identify as women into women-only prisons: womensliberationfront.org/news/aclu-move… 1/6

Lambda Legal, the Transgender Law Center, and the ACLU foundations of Northern California and Southern California are representing four incarcerated men along with the Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project (“TGIJP”). 2/6

The ACLU objects to the state’s choice to slow the transfer the more than 300 men who have sought transfer to women’s facilities, one-third of whom are sex offenders (though the ACLU denies this documented, material fact in its court pleadings). 3/6

One of WoLF’s plaintiffs was sexually assaulted by one of the dozens of men who have already been transferred, and she suffers ongoing trauma as the state refuses to admit that her attacker is a man.
So much for #thisneverhappens. 4/6

It has also happened in New Jersey: womensliberationfront.org/news/two-nj-wo…
It happened in Washington: womensliberationfront.org/news/washingto… 5/6

And it happened in New York: reduxx.info/transgender-in…
and everywhere else that women are inhumanely locked in cages with men.
