The SPEED Act is an end run around communities having a say in infrastructure that could harm them. It's a polluters' bill of rights. Tell Congress to kill this monstrosity of a bill!
Send an email to Congress and tell them to stand with communities, not polluters:

The SPEED Act would make it easier for big projects that impact our neighborhoods and environment to move forward without first assessing how they affect us.

Healthcare is a human right. It should be reliable, safe, and nurturing.
Our healthcare system continues to marginalize poor and working-class communities and fails to address the deep racial disparities in access and care.

As a climate justice community, we recognize that the same systems that endanger our planet also endanger trans people—especially Black, Indigenous, and other trans people of color.
