Remember those bills we called Governor Newsom about? It worked! He signed 4 of the 5 bills into law. Together, they strengthen the privacy protections to reduce the risk of doxxing for #trans Californians, and they streamline the name and gender change process. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

A huge win for trans people in California: the state legislature passed five bills protecting our rights! Now it's time to call on Governor Gavin Newsom to sign them. Contact him before October 12th: transfamilysos.org/action-neede... #TransRights #TransYouth #TransCalifornia

We had a great time presenting our Trans 101 talk to @liccardo.house.gov's staff last week at his district office here in San Jose. It was great sharing our experiences and learning more about how Rep. Liccardo has supported the trans community. (1/2) #Trans #PrideMonth #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

California must lead with courage – not cave to hate. ✊🏽 Add your name to demand SB 59 is passed and signed into law. 👉 action.allout.org/en/m/faf13ca... #TransRights #SB59 #ProtectTransPrivacy #California #AllOut

But we’re not done yet. SB 59 still needs to pass in the Legislature – and then be signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. Lately, he’s been backtracking under pressure from Trump’s anti-trans agenda. That’s unacceptable.

🏳️‍⚧️ UPDATE: California’s SB 59 – the Transgender Privacy Act – just passed its first committee vote in the Legislature! A critical step forward for trans rights. Here’s why it matters 🧵

The HHS is now telling medical centers to adhere to their latest sham report on transgender healthcare which literally says is not a treatment guideline. They’re sending this letter to hospitals in blue states and threatening them unless they stop trans care. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/...

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

SBQS had another great volunteer day this weekend at Quest House! It was our biggest group yet. Thank you to everyone who came, and extra thanks to carpoolers and Sônia for making us burritos! 🌯 #mutualaid #transrights #volunteer

Use our tool linked below to contact your senator now. Urge them to vote NO on this bill. Tell your Senator today: Protect Our Healthcare! Protect Trans People! (4/4) action.transequality.org/a/stopmedica...

Trump’s anti-trans policies are putting lives at risk. California has a duty to resist. Tell lawmakers to pass the Trans Privacy Act and protect trans people from discrimination, harassment, and violence. Sign now! action.allout.org/en/m/faf13ca...
