OPPOSE SB1628: LGBTQ+ Erasure Act

This Wednesday, March 6 at 9am, Arizona legislators will hear Senate Bill 1628 in the House Judiciary Committee. This bill seeks to erase people who are trans or non-binary in Arizona. The bill does not include or recognize gender identity, or any other term, that is intended to convey a person’s subjective sense of self.

1. Oppose this bill and submit your comments in the Request to Speak (RTS) system.
2. Pack the room at the committee hearing - show up to show legislators that this bill is not ok. Event details here.
3. Share this information with your networks.

• Read Cronkite News' "GOP bill would strike ‘gender’ from state law, limit sex to male, female"
• This bill would no longer allow LGBTQ+ people to assert claims of discrimination on the basis of sex.
• SB 1628 could put federal funds for schools, domestic violence centers, and rape crisis centers at risk.
• The bill would harm Arizonans simply trying to live their lives.

Thank you for helping us create a future where everyone has the trust, support, and information they need to choose what's best for them.

Sincerely,
