Tell your U.S. Rep: Vote NO on HR 734

Earlier this month, U.S. House members introduced HR 734, which would exclude transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students from participation in sports.

HR 734 claims to protect women and girls in sports. Instead of creating an equal playing field for women’s athletics, HR 734 would exclude transgender, nonbinary, and intersex youth from playing sports with their friends and undermine civil rights for all students.

Tell your Congressperson to vote NO on HR 734 and let transgender, nonbinary, and intersex youth play!
