Oppose Section 708 of the NDAA
To: Sen. Sinema, Sen. Kelly
From: A verified voter in Phoenix, AZ
December 13
I am concerned about Section 708 of the NDAA passed by the House on December 11. My understanding is that it eliminates health care through TRICARE for trans minors of military personnel. This provision will jeopardize the lives of trans youths and disrupt the lives of their military families. I want the Senator to vote against it and demand that it be stripped from the NDAA before s/he supports it. I won’t tolerate discrimination against trans Americans and the Senator shouldn’t either.

Also, I want the Senator to urge President Biden to publish the Equal Rights Amendment before leaving office. It has met the ratification requirements. It’s time. Thanks.
