Hi Bluesky.
Please call and email your representatives regarding the FY2025 NDAA and ask them to vote NO on H.R. 5009 surrounding the removal of gender affirming care for trans youth. If passed, it could take decades to roll back, and more could be at risk next time.

Today, 2 LGBTQ+ veterans made Q'mmunity House their home as a huge step in their healing and growth. It was such an honor to give our first residents their keys. A labor of love is an understatement.
