Stand up for constituents against EOs

To: Asm. Connolly, Gov. Newsom, Sen. Cabaldon

From: A constituent in Rohnert Park, CA

February 5

I am your constituent and I am hurting and horrified by the political conditions in the country at present. I transitioned from female to male 9 years ago. I had a passport as a child with a female gender marker. Under the current executive order, I cannot get a passport that says male (and would be aligned with my ID, appearance, and birth certificate). It would be unsafe for me to get a passport that says female, but that is my only option right now. Increasing immigration enforcement efforts is a cruel waste of money. Building a larger detention center is a cruel waste of money. Leaving the WHO is dangerous. Supporting world health initiatives is not only a moral imperative, but a national health and safety imperative. This is especially important in the light of H1N1. We need to restore WHO funding and participation as soon as possible The NSF funding freeze and changing requirements around DEI initiatives are harmful to our progress as a country. Diversity is important for scientific research and should be funded. For too long, scientific studies were done primarily analyzing a white male population, with an assumption that results would be universal. Increasing diversity and equity in scientific research ensures that the research results contribute to the health, safety, and growth of all segments of the population. Overall, the EOs of the new administration and implementation thereof waste taxpayer dollars playing political theater while making the lives of residents, including your constituents, worse. As your constituent, I want to know that you are doing everything you can to push back against these actions. This is why you hold this position. Please take it seriously.
