Thank you @PeteButtigieg & @Chasten for standing up to attacks and giving visibility to LGBTQ+ families!

[Rep. Andrew Gray @rep_gray]

So happy to celebrate #PrideAnchorage as co-Grand Marshal of the #PrideParade with @rep_jennie! Such a wonderful event! Big thanks to organizers for an epic parade.

[Representative Jennie Armstrong @rep_jennie]

Had so much fun being co-Grand Marshall of Anchorage pride parade today with @rep_gray! 🏳️‍🌈

Right now, many things are being said about and done to trans and non-binary kids. It is unfathomable to me that anyone thinks that to “help” one group you have to irrevocably harm another. More importantly, trans girls are girls. Please join me in speaking out against hate.

Shared from @ACLUofAlaska 🏳️‍🌈 Pride is still protest, and on Wednesday Mat-Su voices are needed to oppose school board policies that will erode the safety and privacy of the district's LGBTQIA2S+ youth. #akleg #alaska

[löki gale (she/her) @lgtobin]

Our schools are headed toward a fiscal crisis, teachers are leaving in droves, but our state board of education is focused on enshrining discrimination…#akleg

[Alaskans Together @AKTogether]

@rep_jennie Not done yet! Keep at it! The Alaska public supports this!

[Pride At Work - Alaska @prideatworkak]

Thank you to the @AKAFLCIO for giving our chapter the honor of being involved in this years Workers Memorial Day event here in Anchorage!

The hearing on HB 105, the governor's bill on sex/reproduction education in schools, has been removed from today's House Judiciary Committee agenda. #akleg

Assembly Chair Constant and I sent this letter to the ASAA board this morning. Discrimination has no place in our schools. I urge the ASAA board to vote down this discriminatory and anti-trans policy! You can reach out to the board directly at [email protected].

[Planned Parenthood Alaska @ppadvocatesAK]

If you’re calling in to testify against the Alaska School Activities Association’s proposed anti trans bylaw changes, here’s how to call in and unmute. Remember to EMAIL your remarks to [email protected] whether you signed up to call in or not. #akleg #akgov

[Anchorage Daily News @adndotcom]

A bill proposed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy to limit sexual education passed its first legislative hurdle after lawmakers significantly amended it, advancing a version that would require parents to sign off on every school class, activity or program. https://t.co/99GIoZLG6X

[Scott Kendall @scooterkendall]

This change is divisive & makes vulnerable kids feel even more targeted.

It’s also unnecessary—The head of ASAA said he knows of just *one* trans athlete in AK in the last 9 yrs.

Bet it also conflicts w the values of many of ASAA’s corp sponsors👇

[Representative Jennie Armstrong @rep_jennie]

Happening now in #akleg: @alaskascott is presenting on the Senate version (SB108) of HB99: LGBTQ+ Nondiscrimination in Senate Labor and Commerce!

[Planned Parenthood Alaska @ppadvocatesAK]

Next week is big for LGBTQ+ rights in Alaska. Monday at 8AM: Call in to oppose HB 105 (if you haven’t already), @GovDunleavy's "Don't Be Gay" bill. Monday at 1:30PM: Call in to support @alaskascott's SB 108: LGBTQ+ Equality (everyone can call in). #akleg

[Planned Parenthood Alaska @ppadvocatesAK]

If you can only do one thing to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and especially trans kids, make it this. Sign up. Call in. Let’s remind them that #TransGirlsAreGirls and all kids deserve to play.

[löki gale (she/her) @lgtobin]

It can get weary, this work…knowing how much our kids need us adults to step up and fight for their rights to be who they are where they are. But then, you get the best reminder of why matters. If you haven’t testified against HB 105, Monday at 8:00 am. #akleg
