I need you to commit to voting no on HB 28- the sports ban on transgender athletes. It's the Republicans' first step to federal legislation declaring trans women are men, which would be a civil rights disaster. That's not speculation. They've been open about their plans. Democrats need to fight back immediately by protecting the vulnerable groups Republicans are going after. There's no amount of ground they can give up on trans rights to make Republicans stop attacking.
Not standing up for trans people hasn't helped Democrats win elections. Ask Sherrod Brown, Colin Allred, or Kamala Harris.
Please vote No on HB 28. If not for trans people, then because voters show up to support Democrats who stand for something. Thank you.
