Today is International Day of People with Disabilities. For the 1 billion people in the world with disabilities, bodily autonomy is a right but not always a reality. An inclusive & equitable world is possible, but only if we respect the rights of disabled people🧡 #IDPwD2023

Important new report from our friends @WilliamsPolicy highlights how critical it is that we continue to fight laws aimed at restricting #trans #healthcare, especially for our young people.
22 states have gender-affirming care bans. 19 of them—all but three—were passed in 2023. An estimated 92,700 transgender youth live in these states. bit.ly/2023transbills

Anti-trans policies hurt all girls in sports, and are a distraction from actual threats, like rampant abuse and unequal resources. Read more from our Comms Director Joanna Hoffman in @SELFmagazine: self.com/story/advocating-fo…

Everyone has a right to bodily autonomy. Abortion access and trans rights are part of the same fight. 💟

The Michigan Supreme Court ruled Monday that nongenetic LGBTQ parents who were unconstitutionally denied the right to marry may seek custody of children they were raising with former partners: mombian.com/2023/07/26/michi… #LGBTQfamilies

BREAKING! A federal judge just blocked an Arizona law that barred transgender girls from playing sports in the state, finding that the law – SB 1165 – is likely unconstitutional. Full NCLR statement coming shortly.

“In denying event permits to Montana Pride, Defendant City of Helena… is suppressing Montana Pride’s protected speech, denying it the opportunity to host constitutionally protected events, and denying the audience the opportunity to attend these events.” montanafreepress.org/2023/07…

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth! In July 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed. This landmark legislation broke down barriers to inclusion across society.

Great news: A judge has ruled against FL's anti-trans healthcare ban, halting enforcement of SB254 against the plaintiffs. Inspiring step toward restoring access to care in FL. Thank you to plaintiff families & @SouthernLegal, @GLADLaw, @HRC & @NCLRights: glad.org/post/federal-court-…
