HHS plans to remove gender dysphoria from disability protections under Section 504—but 17 GOP AGs are still pushing a lawsuit that could gut all federal disability protections. Schools, hospitals, and workplaces could refuse accommodations. #DisabilityRights #TransRights \

Federal government to remove gender dysphoria from protected disabilities list
It’s unclear what the move means for a related lawsuit that could dismantle protections for all people with disabilities.

In 2024, LGBTQ+ advocates successfully defeated 91% of anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in U.S. state legislatures. Through strategies like deep canvassing, personal storytelling, and community engagement, they built bipartisan support and protected rights across the nation.

While the trans community still faces unprecedented legislative attacks, with 49 bills passing into law in 2024, there are key strategies that activists are using to fight back.

Why did the Pentagon reportedly flag photos of the Enola Gay for removal? Apparently because of the word “gay” in the airplane’s name.

The front page of a weekly federal government update flyer, describing the current federal budget proposal in the house of representatives, the federal agencies under attack, and updates on the price of eggs and gas. The back page of a flyer that includes five qr codes that can be scanned to take action to protect our democracy. The actions include calling your senators and reps, protesting with indivisible, learning about issues, donating to a food bank, and a document that has a very long list of other options.
