DESCRIPTION:Join Alliance for Justice and partners for a discussion breaking down the 
 GOP's most recent coordinated anti-LGBTQ+ attack and how we can protect 
 trans youth.\n\nTuesday, September 21 @ 3 PM PT (6 PM ET) \n\nRSVP: 
 https://secure.everyaction.com/TlKQHQzefkyWSDHxYFbd-w2 \n\nNOTE: this event 
 will be held on Zoom and not Facebook Live. You must RSVP at the link above 
 to receive a Zoom link to join.\n\nOver the past decade, anti-LGBTQ+ groups 
 and Republican-controlled state legislatures have waged relentless attacks 
 to restrict the rights and health care of transgender people, from 
 restricting access to public spaces, to denying transgender youth health 
 care, to prohibiting transgender students from equally participating in 
 school and sports activities.  \n \nThis has been the worst year for 
 anti-LGBTQ legislation since 2015, and state legislatures are doubling down 
 on anti-transgender legislation and rhetoric demonizing our youth, with 
 more than 110 bills introduced across 33 states since January.  \n\nThe 
 stakes are high. Unless we act quickly, transgender children will be denied 
 life-saving, medically necessary health care, the ability to fully 
 participate in public education, and their right to be treated equally with 
 their peers. \n\nIt's not just in state houses. Our state and federal 
 courts will likely be the last lines of defense for trans youth, and many 
 of these courts have been stacked with dangerous anti-LGBTQ+ extremists.  
 \n\nPlease join speakers:\n\n--Rakim Brooks, President at the Alliance for 
 Justice\n--Chase Strangio, Deputy Director for Transgender Justice at the 
 ACLU\n--Katelyn Burns, Contributing Writer at Vox\n--Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, 
 Executive Director of National Center for Transgender Equality\nand other 
 leading advocates   \n\n
