Texas trans organizers ain't playin! When they called, GLM answered. They asked for support on a bathroom sit in, inspired by our action at the U.S. Capitol we took last December, and we came down to throw down.

GLM is on the ground in Texas for today’s hearing of yet another iteration of a bathroom bill SB 8. We’re here to say BAN BATHROOM BIGOTRY. This is not about protection, but about gender policing which harms cis and trans people alike.

NYC!

Hey y'all! This week we have Keegan O'Brien interviewing @genderlib.com 's Eliel Cruz about queer liberation strategy in the face of rightwing antitrans scapegoating. spectrejournal.com/bodily-auton...

I wrote about decriminalizing sex work, police, and prisons via my organizing campaign to get Layleen Polanco justice. My latest for my column at Gay Times 🌈 magazine.gaytimes.com/why-decrimin...

You can celebrate Pride by fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, says Gender Liberation Movement co-founders Raquel Willis and Eliel Cruz, who spoke to the Cut after GLM organizers, including Willis, were arrested while protesting the Skrmetti decision.

This ruling gives the green light to further attacks on LGBTQ+ rights and sets a dangerous precedent for all marginalized communities. We’re committed to fighting back—loudly, proudly, and in solidarity with trans folks leading the way. 📸: @framed.unrest

We were proud partner w @genderlib.com & stand in solidarity w trans communities during yesterday’s powerful action at the Supreme Court. Dozens of peaceful protesters gathered w 9 arrested, standing boldly against the Skrmetti decision that upholds Tennessee’s cruel ban on gender-affirming care.

Inspiring protest at SCOTUS this morning highlighting the devastating Skrmetti ruling and other threats to transgender individuals. Government does not belong between people and their healthcare providers. #transrights

Today @genderlib.com and activist volunteers took HRT in front of the Supreme Court and then occupied the street in front of the building. This was in defiance and dissent against Skrmetti, a demonic SCOTUS ruling that will kill so, so many trans people. Please do not avert your eyes.

Today myself and nine other activists with @genderlib.com were arrested in front of the Supreme Court while protesting for the rights of Trans Youth. These are scary times but we must act up and fight back for our rights and our children’s rights.

BREAKING: 9 trans rights activists with @genderlib.com arrested in front of Supreme Court while protesting Skrmetti ruling www.advocate.com/news/trans-a...

U.S.Capitol Police just arrested @genderlib.com activists who were protesting SCOTUS’ Skrmetti decision outside of the court, including @raquelwillis.com Activists blocked the street in front of the court Police gave them 3 warnings before arresting them for “unlawful demonstration”

We will not go silently and let the Supreme Court + our Government erode our rights to our bodies, genders, choices, and futures. ACT UP FIGHT BACK!
