Yesterday we posted about the Trump administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line, the “press 3” option on 988 is officially gone. The Trevor Project is stepping up to help fill the gap, and they could really use some support right now. If you’re able, please consider donating! 🏳️‍🌈 💛

Oral arguments for Mahmoud v. Taylor wrapped up this morning and… yikes.

“Students with disabilities weren't educated in most cases,” says Jack Schneider, professor on education policy at UMass Amherst. “They were turned away, and their families were told that the school didn't have the facilities, the resources to serve their kids.”

The landmark law ushered in an era of inclusion and equity. The current assault on public schools could unravel that progress, leaving students without the support they need.

Shame on the NH State Legislature for passing 5 anti-LGBTQ+ bills today, overwhelmingly designed to block transgender + gender non conforming people from public life. And we are so proud of the transgender + allied state reps who brought real, powerful stories to the House floor in speeches today.
On a blue background that has some white gradient in it toward the top and middle, black text reads, “THE NH STATE HOUSE JUST PASSED” (Below) “FELONY FOR PUBERTY BLOCKERS & HORMONES FOR TRANS YOUTH (HB 377) BAN ON ALL HEALTHCARE FOR TRANS YOUTH (HB 712)” At the top right corner is the 603 Equality logo, a white circle with those words in black and a rainbow and trans flag with small gold stars around them. At the bottom of the graphic is a photo of many people holding trans supportive signs. On a blue background that has some white gradient in it toward the top and middle, black text reads, “THE NH STATE SENATE JUST PASSED” (Below) “A BATHROOM BAN (SB 268) A COLLEGE TRANS SPORTS BAN (SB 211) AND A FORCED OUTING BILL (SB 96)N” At the top right corner is the 603 Equality logo, a white circle with those words in black and a rainbow and trans flag with small gold stars around them. At the bottom of the graphic is a photo of many people holding trans supportive signs. On a blue background that has some white gradient in it toward the top and middle, black text reads, “Despite state representatives bringing powerful stories of transgender Granite Staters and their families to the House floor, representatives today chose to double down on discrimination and block life-saving healthcare that has been studied and proven effective for 40 years. All Granite Staters should be outraged that loving parents will be charged with felonies for accessing healthcare, a dangerous authoritarian precedent. The Senate’s passage of similar anti-LGBTQ+ bills to those the House has already passed means that Governor Kelly Ayotte has a responsibility to pledge to veto these bills immediately. - Linds Jakows, Founder, 603 Equality” At the top right corner is the 603 Equality logo, a white circle with those words in black and a rainbow and trans flag with small gold stars around them. At the bottom of the graphic of the graphic in the left corner is a photo of Linds, a white nonbinary person with shoulder length dirty blonde hair and glasses. They are smiling at the camera. On a blue background that has some white gradient in it toward the top and middle, black text reads, “CALL GOVERNOR KELLY AYOTTE AND DEMAND SHE VETO ALL ANTI-LGBTQ+ BILLS NOW! (603) 271-2121” At the top right corner is the 603 Equality logo, a white circle with those words in black and a rainbow and trans flag with small gold stars around them. At the bottom corner/ right side of the graphic is a photo of Kelly Ayotte, open-mouthed and looking down, wearing a green and pink plaid shirt.

Write letters. Speak out. These bills will be devastating, if they pass.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

When you hear Republicans say they want to "return education to the states," what they really mean is they want to remove civil rights protections for students.

One thing that really bugs me about so many of the anti-trans arguments about sports is that they'll be like, "Lia Thomas was a giant! Clearly she had an unfair advantage!" when the reality was just that she was pretty much the same size as other elite women swimmers.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”
Abandoning trans people is 'fascist logic', says leading feminist philosopher
Leading feminist philosopher Judith Butler has declared that abandoning trans people or any minority is operating within 'fascist logic'.

These bills cruelly seek to cut off access to life-affirming, medically necessary healthcare for young transgender people, forcibly “out” students in school, expand discrimination against transgender athletes to college athletics, and ban books.
On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “SB 210 would form a study committee to study school bullying. We know that LGBTQ+ young people experience higher rates of bullying in school than their non-LGBTQ+ peers do. At the same time, we know that harsh punishments for bullies are not useful tools to end cycles of harm. We can encourage the committee to take these things into account when forming their study committee. Sign in + show up! Support SB 210 Tuesday, March 4th Public Hearing 9:15 AM Legislative Office Building Room 100” On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “SB 211 would expand sports discrimination to block trans women in college from playing with their peers. This bill is rooted in misunderstanding and offensively insinuates that transgender girls are dangerous in sports. Trans athletes vary in athletic ability just like cisgender athletes. Sign in + show up! Oppose SB 211 Tuesday, March 4th Public Hearing 9:30 AM Legislative Office Building Room 100” On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “HB 324 is a book ban bill deliberately wrapped in confusing language about “obscene or harmful sexual materials” when those words are meant to conceal its true purpose: an LGBTQ+ book ban. Whether or not we are LGBTQ+, we all benefit from reading about people who are like us, and different from us. And too often, opponents of our freedom take challenging materials, like those about sexual assault, out of context, when those materials can be useful tools for children who have gone through something horrific to feel less alone and talk to a trusted adult. Sign in + show up! Oppose HB 324 Wednesday, March 5th Public Hearing 2:45 PM Legislative Office Building Room 205-207” On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “How to register your opinion. Step 1: Go to our linktr.ee/603equalitynh + click on “House Bills: Register your opinion” or “Senate Bills: Register your opinion.” Step 2: Fill out your information online selected the date of the hearing, committee, + bill number.

Next week we’re facing an onslaught of anti-LGBTQ+, especially anti-trans, bills at the state house. @reproequitynow.bsky.social @nhyouthmovement.bsky.social
On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “Hands off our healthcare!” Behind the text is a soft light yellow blob that appears to glow. On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “Oppose HB 377 Banning puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy for young trans people Hearing 9:30 AM” and “Oppose HB 712 Banning top surgery for young trans people Hearing 1 PM” Centered at the bottom text reads, “Monday, March 3 House Health and Human Services Legislative Office Building 306-208.” On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “Save the date: Tuesday March 4th Morning, starting at 9 AM Show up in Concord! Against forced outing For a study committee on school bullying Against extending an anti-trans sports ban to colleges.” On a pastel purple background, logos for Reproductive Equity Now, 603 Equality, New Hampshire Youth Movement, and NH Outright appear at the top of the graphic. Black text with a white shadow in the middle reads, “SB 96 - the most extreme forced outing bill this year. This bill requires anyone who works in a public school to answer “honestly and completely” to parental inquiries., aka forced to report on anything they might hear directly or overhear, including information about students’ sexual orientation, gender identity, or questioning status. This puts public school workers in an impossible position of having to either record or remember everything they might overhear in a school day. Instead of writing a bill that says simply, “teachers shouldn’t lie to parents”, the creation of this level of surveillance at school creates a difficult learning environment. Everyone deserves the right to be themselves at schools. LGBTQ+ youth should be able to come out to their parents when they are ready. Sign in + Show up! Oppose SB 96 Tuesday March 4th Public Hearing 9 AM Legislative Office Building Room 100.”
