🎉GREAT NEWS🎉 988 has resumed specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis after Congress forced the Trump Admin to restore these lifesaving services. Trump cruelly cut these services—but CEC founder @baldwin.senate.gov and our members fought back, and got them restored!
Equality Caucus celebrates return of 988's specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis. Read more at the link in our bio.“For years, young LGBTQI+ people in crisis could turn to the 988 hotline for help from someone specially trained to meet their unique needs, but the Trump Administration made a cruel, conscious choice to cut those services last year. Now, thanks to the work of Congressional Equality Caucus Founder Senator Tammy Baldwin and our members, 988’s specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis have finally resumed. The bill mandating the restoration of these services became law in February—it should never have taken this long for the Administration to restore these lifesaving services. They dragged their feet however they could, even though they knew young LGBTQI+ people out there were in crisis. As we celebrate the restoration of these services, we will continue fighting to pass bipartisan legislation—led by CEC Vice Chair Krishnamoorthi, Co-Chair Davids, and Rep. Moulton in the House—to ensure this lifeline never goes dark again.” Rep. Mark Takano, hair of the Congressional Equality Caucus

🎉GOOD NEWS🎉 A federal judge rejected the DOJ's latest attempt to move a lawsuit over 17 trans servicemembers' revoked retirement pay out of court. The servicemembers, who were forced out under Trump's cruel ban, can stay in court as they fight for what they were promised.

🎉GOOD NEWS🎉 A federal appeals court DENIED DOJ's latest attempt to access young trans peoples' private medical records from some NYC hospitals. No parent should ever fear their kids' private medical records being turned over to the federal gov. This is an important win!
The Advocate: "Trans kids’ medical records remain private after Trump DOJ loses again. The Second Circuit refused to lift an order blocking federal prosecutors from obtaining sensitive information about young people who received gender-affirming care in New York City."

🚨BAD BILL PASSED🚨 The House just passed Republicans' National Security and State Department funding bill, which contains SIX anti-LGBTQI+ riders. We’re going to keep fighting to prevent these riders from becoming law.
Equality Caucus Condemns House Passage of anti-LGBTQI+ FY27
National Security, State Department Appropriations Bill“Once again, the GOP majority hijacked a critical government funding bill and added terrible riders that prohibit foreign assistance funds for organizations that acknowledge transgender people exist, enable anti-LGBTQI+ discrimination, and signal the United States’ retreat from our position on the world stage as a defender of human rights. None of these riders make our world any safer. It’s beyond shameful that the Republican majority has again tainted this vitally important bill with these poison pill riders. My colleagues in the Equality Caucus and I will continue fighting to prevent this bill’s anti-LGBTQI+ riders from becoming law.” Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus
