Stop the SAVE Act The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to reject this bill now.

Protect Trans Care Now As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

If you favor allowing parents to make healthcare decisions for their children, you should be in favor allowing them to give their children access to gender-affirming care. And if you're in favor of that, you should be against penalizing doctors for providing such care.
