From hospitals cutting off gender-affirming care to federal rollbacks of emergency mental health services, trans youth are being stripped of the right to exist, thrive, and access life-saving health care.
Illinois is a sanctuary state for transgender rights — yet major institutions are walking back care and leaving families in crisis.
This is a state of emergency and we are fighting back against these attacks on gender affirming medical and mental health services.
This is a call to action. Show up. Speak out. Fight for trans futures!
Join us on August 10th to demand:
-- Immediate restoration + expansion of gender-affirming care
-- Protection of 988 LGBTQ+ crisis services & The Trevor Project contract
A core principle behind this action is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
