Federal judge expands stop on Trump's anti-trans passport ban to include the entire U.S. We recommend taking advantage of this injunction and applying for an updated passport. If you face barriers or have questions, please reach out to us (and contact your U.S. Senator)

Breaking: This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3, upholding states' ability to ban transgender health care for minors. Because there is no law in Michigan that bans transgender health care, this decision does not impact health care for transgender youth in Michigan.

Equality Michigan condemns today’s passage of the anti-trans sports House Bills 4066 and 4469 in the Michigan House. The votes were as follows: HB 4066: 58 Aye (58 R), 46 Nay (46 D), 6 Absent (6 D) HB 4469: 59 Aye (58 R, 1 D - O'Neal), 45 Nay (45 D), 6 Absent (6 D)

Breaking! HBs 4066 & 4469 were voted out of committee 3 to 2. Despite overwhelming testimony against the bill, a lack of Michigan voices in support of the bill, and the bill sponsor, Rylee Linting (R-Grosse Ile), leaving to avoid questioning. These bills do not protect women, girls, or anyone in MI.

Join us on Thursday, May 15th, to pack the room! The Republican-controlled Michigan State House will be having a Government Operations Committee hearing on the anti-trans sports ban bills next week, and we need you to show up and shut down these bigoted bills. Sign Up: mobilize.us/s/G33w4A

Why care about HIV prevention funding? Because it saves lives. The CDC’s HIV prevention programs and the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative aim to reduce new infections by 90% by 2030. They focus on diagnosing, treating, preventing, and responding, especially in communities hit hardest.

Funding cuts to the #CDC is a huge step backwards in our progress to address HIV in the U.S. and takes our country further away from ending the HIV epidemic. Join EQMI in calling your members of Congress and tell them NO CDC funding cuts!❌ Take action here: bit.ly/protect-CDC.
