Join us for #ProudandFree: United for Trans Power this Saturday
WHEN: Saturday, June 21st, 11:00 – 11:30 am.
WHERE: Santa Barbara County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a devastating decision in U.S. v. Skrmetti, ruling to block access to potentially life-saving medical care that allows trans people to live their lives as they see fit.
U.S. v. Skrmetti is a lawsuit filed by the ACLU, Lambda Legal, the ACLU of Tennessee, and Akin Gump on behalf of transgender youth and their families challenging Tennessee’s categorical ban (SB1) on gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth.
The Court’s ruling against trans youth, their families, and their doctors threatens the well-being of trans people, the safety of our communities, and the ability of every family to determine what is best for them. It is an attack on the right of each of us to control our own future.
In Santa Barbara and across the United States, we will gather in community to say that we believe our freedom to be ourselves is worth fighting for. No matter what the challenges, we will always be proud and free.
Join us this Saturday, June 21 from 11:00-11:30 am in front of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse as we unite in solidarity for trans freedom, joy, and power with activists across the country organized by the ACLU and Lambda Legal. Help us to take on bullies, build trans power, and do our part so that trans youth grow up to be happy, healthy trans adults. Learn more about the harmful decision, the implications for gender-affirming care, threats to gender-affirming care in California, and the next steps to stay involved in our fight for a better future for trans people across the country.
No matter what the Court or politicians say, transgender youth and their families are not alone. We will continue to fight in courtrooms and communities across the country to ensure all people have the freedom to shape their own futures.
WHAT: Proud and Free: United for Trans Power WHEN: Saturday, June 21st, 11:00 – 11:30 am. WHERE: Santa Barbara County Courthouse 1100 Anacapa St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
