Thank you to Athlete Ally Board Co-chair @lauraclise for representing us at the Trans Bill of Rights Act Introduction event in Seattle! 🏳️‍⚧️ And thank you @repjayapal for your leadership and allyship. This resolution provides a comprehensive framework to provide protections for transgender and nonbinary people, ensuring that they are not discriminated against or persecuted for their gender identity and expression. “The Trans Bill of Rights Act says clearly to the trans community across the country that we see you and we will stand with you to ensure you are protected and given the dignity and respect that every person should have. We know that trans people, and trans people of color in particular, face some of the greatest barriers in access to opportunity, services and resources, and facing some of the worst discrimination. With this resolution, we salute the resilience and courage of trans people across our country, and outline a clear vision of what we must do in Congress in order to allow trans people to lead full, happy lives with the basic freedoms to housing, physical and mental healthcare, and employment without discrimination or a risk to their lives.” - Congresswoman Jayapal.
