Join us tomorrow as we say: Women’s Health Care is NOT a Bargaining Chip!

Join us tomorrow as we say: Women’s Health Care is NOT a Bargaining Chip!

imageAnd this issue extends to all of us and/or our loved ones within the Trans communities. The Federal Government on more than one occasion has enacted federal regulations excluding trans folks from federal protections: the Americans with Disabilities Act, Insurance Coverage and Medicaid to name a few. And we now see the House of Representatives, the Senate and even the President supporting even more abortion restrictions on a Woman’s Right to full health care coverage and her ability to govern decisions over her body. Click here to read more of these connections between a Women’s right to choose and Trans folks being denied the right to determination over their bodies, their gender identity and their expression.

So please join TransAdvocacy, the Women and Gender Resource Action Center of Trinity, NARAL Pro-Choice Ct and other organizations as we stand and say we will NOT be silent as our government tries to chip away our rights! Click here to view flyer.
