There have been over 270 bills targeting transgender people moving across the country. This February 4th update will help you get a general lay of the land.
I appreciate your work SO much, Erin. This week many of us have been making public comment in North Carolina on Senate Bill 49 - a terrible "parental rights" bill which will have devastating effects on LGBTQ youth. It is going to the rules committee on Monday at 5:30 pm in Raleigh, expected to go to the Senate on Tuesday, will likely pass. https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewBillDocument/2023/204/0/DRS35021-TC-20
Yeah, I've heard about that one. There are so many moving around the country right now, it's literally like a war room with triage. This is precisely where the local orgs are so important because national pictures can't account for every one of these.
I didn't hear about this one in the Senate till now, but I was just looking at NC H43, healthcare ban (under 18) just introduced on the first. Guess they finally got around to coming for us here.
I love ya for putting all this out there! It's so helpful and while I know the toll for this emotional labor is high, it makes a difference. Thank you! Also please consider mentioning Missouri next time! They have SIX bills in the works (3 banning healthcare 3 banning student-athletes) https://www.losangelesblade.com/2023/02/03/rabbi-11-year-old-son-testify-against-anti-trans-legislation/
I’m watching Missouri closely! Please message me if it looks like a committee vote is coming up, and I’ll also edit and add Missouri to this list!
Made sure to add Missouri! Thanks!

yes! and this one is moving insanely fast through the legislative process; we knew nothing about it until Tuesday evening

Thank you Erin.
It’s really scary what the fascists are doing
