If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

HANDS OFF OUR PASSPORTS!

We’re in court today challenging an executive order by the Trump administration that denies accurate passports to transgender, non-binary, and intersex people.

The ACLU Action Team is marching in support of our clients. Trans people deserve IDs that reflect who we are.

Header text that reads, "Take action now" with smaller text below that reads, "Trans, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, and intersex people deserve to have identity docs that accurately reflect who they are!"

Right now, the federal government is trying to undermine trans people’s access to passports. But you can act TODAY.

Over a navy background in white and light blue text: "Thank you for supporting trans youth AGAIN!" Inset are portraits of Sen. Booker and Sen. Kim.

We want to thank @booker.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov for supporting #trans youth AGAIN earlier this week by voting "NO" on Senate Bill 9. This bill would've banned transgender girls and women from being able to play on the correct sports teams.

Public comment on US passport form changes related to trans

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

A pink graphic with a quote "I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I'm never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can't change that." The quote is attributed to "Hunter Schafer, actress and model"

Trans people have a right to identification that accurately represents who we are.

We've taken President Trump to court to block the policy preventing trans people like Hunter from receiving passports with correct gender markers.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration for refusing to issue passports with accurate sex designations for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people.

Over a very dark blue background with the seal of the Office of the New Jersey Attorney General: "'As state attorneys general, we stand firmly in support of healthcare policies that respect the dignity and rights of all people. Health care decisions should be made by patients, families, and doctors, not by a politician trying to use his power to restrict your freedoms. Gender-affirming care is essential, life-saving medical treatment that supports individuals in living as their authentic selves.' Statement from Coalition of Attorneys General, including New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin, on Protecting Access to Gender-Affirming Care (February 2025)."

Yesterday, #NewJersey AG Matthew Platkin, alongside 15 other attorneys general from around the country, reaffirmed his commitment to protecting access to gender affirming care. We thank AG Platkin and the entire coalition for making it clear they will protect access to this life-saving healthcare.
