Extremist Republicans defeated! Attempts to force anti-trans provisions into Trump's voter suppression bill were blocked in the Senate over the weekend. The bill faces even more obstacles to passage this week. Trump's voting takeover isn't working. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/03/demo...

A4TE is proud to have endorsed Lena Chipman for Shelby County Board of Commissioners in Tennessee! Chipman says, "The moment you are in any form of political office, you have a voice that is louder...This voice gives me the ability to advocate.” www.advocate.com/politics/ele...

Read our statement:

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Florida Senate just PASSED the “Anti-Diversity in Local Government” bill (HB 1001 / SB 1134). The bill is still up for a vote in the House. Call the Speaker of the House and tell him to oppose HB 1001/SB 1134: 📞 House Speaker Daniel Perez — (850) 717-5000

Happy International Women's Day! In the last decade, we've seen more and more trans women be elected to local, state, and federal positions. Every day, they transform the systems they touch, and bring us closer to a future of true justice and equality for all.

The SAVE America Act would make it harder to vote for many groups, including trans people. The truth? Trump and his allies are seizing control of the voting process because they know they can't win on their policies. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/03/repu...

On the Kansas law passed last week, State House Rep. Abi Boatman writes: "All Kansans, including those who are LGBTQ+, should have the freedom to move through everyday life without government interference and incentivized harassment." www.ms.now/opinion/kans...

1,700 Kansans will have their driver's license invalidated due to a cruel new law from far-right legislators that says gender markers must reflect residents' sex assigned at birth. We must stop hateful laws that endanger trans people. apnews.com/article/tran...

While we would love to continue sharing our opinions on the Casey Means hearing for Surgeon General, we have day jobs we have to get back to! But we leave you with this statement from DPH:

Federal workers keep our country running—but under the Trump administration, many trans employees of the government have been discriminated against and even fired. 19thnews.org/2026/02/lgbt...

Far-right legal organizations are handing out sample anti-trans bills to state legislators, creating an efficient pipeline for spreading hate and disinformation. The good news? Our movement is still defeating roughly 90% of these policies every year. prismreports.org/2026/02/09/a...

Bad bill vetoed! Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said: "I believe the legislature should stay out of the business of telling Kansans how to go to the bathroom and instead stay focused on how to make life more affordable for Kansans.” www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

Because of Trump's "big beautiful bill," many patients on Medicaid are unable to use their coverage at Planned Parenthood. This has greatly limited affirming and affordable options for trans patients, worsening existing gaps in health care access. 19thnews.org/2026/02/medi...

Yesterday, RFK Jr. and the Dept. of Health and Human Services proposed two anti-trans rules. The rules would: 1️⃣ Prohibit federal Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care for youth 2️⃣ End Medicaid/Medicare funding for hospitals providing gender-affirming care to minor patients. (1/3)

As Trump's Department of Health and Human Services continues their campaign to effectively ban gender-affirming care, Rep. Greene's bill is moving to the Senate. Contact your senators now and tell them to vote NO on this dangerous bill: action.transequality.org/a/vote-no-mt...
