We are targets because we are close to DC, because VA's governor and attorney general are MAGA, and because we provide an opportunity to overturn the 4th Circuit decision in Grimm that specifically applies Title IX to trans and nonbinary folks.

I reiterated how we know that he can't actually do anything about local issues or sign onto lawsuits himself. 5/
