Defend Trans Rights!

To: Sen. Van Hollen

From: A verified voter in Silver Spring, MD

December 19

I'm extremely disappointed and concerned by your vote supporting the NDAA, Senator. As we are about to enter a Trump administration, it becomes even more important for our elected officials to support and advocate for marginalized populations. By choosing to support the NDAA despite its removal of healthcare for trans dependents on Tricare, you passed some of the first legislation restricting queer rights in thirty years. This is not acceptable. It does not represent Maryland's values, and it helps open the door to further anti-trans legislation that will inevitably be coming in the Trump administration. I need to know that you will fight for the LGBTQ community, for the Muslim community, for the disabled community, for those of us who are marginalized or do not otherwise conform to the twisted vision of MAGA. Please, Senator. Fight for us.
