Wednesday, November 7, 4-7pm, Ohio Statehouse
The Trump-Pence administration is attempting to legally redefine gender on a narrowly “sex”-based male-female basis that would gut enforcement of existing civil rights protections for over 1.4 million transgender Americans. Additionally, since this memo was put out, Trump’s Department of Justice has said that transgender workers are not protected by civil rights laws [https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/transgender-workers-not-protected-civil-rights-law-doj-tells-supreme-n924491].
This proposal is a dangerous and harmful one that essentially attempts to erase the transgender community. We intend to assemble peacefully at the Ohio Statehouse with the goal of sending the message that the trans community and our allies will not stand for it.
Bring signs! Be loud! But please, keep it nonviolent.
