Let’s get one thing abundantly clear: Rep. @ZoAndBehold was banned from the floor of the Montana House for being trans. That’s what this is about, and it’s a disgusting stain on democracy. We should all be outraged.
We're thrilled to announce Amber Duke has been named as the Executive Director of ACLU of KY. She has been a key leader in the organization’s growth for more than 10 years and is the first Black woman to serve in the role. Read the full press release: https://t.co/RE7A6SMNJ1
VETOED: This morning Governor Beshear vetoed #SB150, the cruelest piece of anti-trans legislation in the nation. #KYGA23
While the GOP supermajority can & likely will override his veto, we are grateful to the governor for protecting life-saving gender-affirming care in Kentucky.
Today the Minnesota House will vote on the trans refuge bill. This bill will protect trans people, supportive families, and providers as other states restrict access to this critical care. This is a historic vote telling the LGBTQ+ community—You Belong Here.
Y'all know what time it is...veto time! #KYGA23
Call 1-800-372-7181 to tell your legislators to urge Governor Beshear to veto these bills:
#SB5
#SB9
#SB150
#HB249
#HB547
We must treat families, children, & unaccompanied minors with dignity and respect. We cannot return to the dark days of prolonged family detention or separation. #FamiliesBelongTogether

“I am the proud mom of a trans kid. And it hurts me every single day to watch these attacks on trans youth who are simply trying to make it through life and be who they fully are.”
Watch this from @RepJayapal. #LetKidsPlay
A lifelong activist, Achebe was a founder of the @AstraeaUpdates and director of the Kitchen Table Press. Our condolences to her family, chosen family, friends and colleagues.
