Breaking News: Lambda Legal and HRC Pledge Quick Action Against Trump Administration’s Renewed Transgender Military Service Ban. Silhouettes of two individuals in military uniforms stand saluting against a twilight sky background.

A quote from Sasha Buchert (she/her), Lambda Legal Counsel and Nonbinary & Trans Rights Project Director, displayed in a speech bubble with a soft gradient background of pink and blue tones. The text reads: 'We have been here before and seven years ago successfully blocked the earlier administration’s effort to prevent patriotic, talented Americans from serving their country. Not only is such a move cruel, it compromises the safety and security of our country and is particularly dangerous and wrong. As we promised then, so do we now: we will sue to block this action.'
