Content Summary
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have voted on their top priorities, and the number one issue is: Kick transgender kids off of sports teams.
Lawmakers in Congress are using a playbook that extremist political operatives cooked up to gain power and distract from the failure to fix actual problems facing everyday people. Now, a Florida congressman is pushing these politics of fear and division on a national scale–fast-tracking a ban that would even impact elementary schools.
Playing sports teaches young people valuable life lessons like teamwork, leadership, and self-discipline. Transgender kids deserve a chance to play, just like their peers. We’ve already seen the damage and disruption this policy has caused in Florida, like the class president at a Broward high school who was forced off her team and had to withdraw from the school altogether.
Tell your congress member to vote NO on this cruel policy.
