Sports are about so much more than a game. They’re about confidence, belonging + finding your place. 💛 As SCOTUS considers two cases on whether trans youth can play school sports, remember what this is really about: kids being able to learn life lessons + follow their passions—on and off the field.

Today as we honor Martin Luther King Jr's legacy, we remember especially his commitment to standing up for freedom of speech, assembly and protest, in the name of justice. #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #MLKDay2026

Image Text: “All we say to America is, ‘Be true to what you said on paper.’ … Somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.” — Martin Luther King Jr. April 3, 1968

Title: MESSAGE FROM THE Executive Director
Text reads:
...we are still in for an uphill battle, but we cannot win that battle if we don’t fight. As for whether or not we will win, to quote Cole Arthur Riley:
Our resistance is not predicated on how likely it will be to alter the conscience of the oppressor. We resist to retain our own conscience. And to awaken all others who are still in possession of their own souls.

Last week a devastating bill was passed by the House and is now being considered by the Senate. It would have dire consequences for all Americans, but especially those already most marginalized.

The bill reduces health care access by:
-Cutting $698 billion in federal spending on Medicaid and imposing work requirements for participants. This disproportionately harms women because more women than men use Medicaid and women are more likely to have childcare responsibilities that hinder workforce participation.
- Expanding a provision banning Medicaid funds for transgender youth to now include all transgender people, regardless of age.
- Banning Planned Parenthood from receiving funds for non-abortion care such as cancer screenings, pap smears, and birth control provision.
