Wednesday December 6, 3pm, Ohio Statehouse

This is a critical moment. We must take action now to protect trans youth in Ohio.

Anti-trans lawmakers at the Statehouse are fast-tracking hearings to pass House Bill 68. This radical, anti-trans legislation would ban critical, gender-affirming healthcare for minors. Ohioans have made it clear in our most recent election: important, private medical decisions should remain between Ohio families and their doctors, not the government. An opponent hearing is scheduled for later this week and a committee vote is imminent. Now is the time to speak up! Join us at the Statehouse on Wednesday at 3pm to voice your opposition to this discriminatory bill.

This transphobic bill was amended earlier this year to include a provision that would ban trans girls and women from playing on sports teams that match their gender identities. H.B. 68 is a clear example of extreme government overreach and state-sponsored bullying of trans and gender-nonconforming Ohioans. Ohioans did not ask for this. Ohioans do not want this.

Send a message to the Ohio Senate Government Oversight Committee and urge them to vote “No” on House Bill 68 and protect trans youth in our state.

Politicians have no business banning evidence-based medical care or barring children from playing sports. We must take action now to stop this attack on the civil rights and liberties of trans Ohioans.

Trans youth belong in Ohio.
