An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stand Up Publicly for Transgender Rights

72 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

Voting against anti-trans amendments isn't enough. I need you to speak out publicly in defense of transgender people whose lives and safety are under attack. When Senator Tuberville introduced his amendment to ban trans athletes from the SAVE America Act in March, Democrats voted it down 49-41. But not a single Democrat spoke against it on the floor. That silence sends a message too. Kansas just invalidated 1,700 trans residents' driver's licenses. Utah is considering stripping trans people from anti-discrimination protections entirely. The Supreme Court is about to rule on a trans athlete ban. This is an emergency, and your silence makes you complicit. Trans people are your constituents. They deserve more than quiet votes. They need you to say their names, defend their dignity, and explain why their rights matter. When you deflect to other issues or stay silent on social media, you abandon vulnerable people to save yourself political discomfort. That's not leadership. I want to see you speak on the Senate floor against anti-trans provisions. I want public statements that don't pivot to the economy or "broader challenges." Trans rights are human rights, and you need to say so out loud.
