Greetings GLSENeer,
Your vote matters! Especially if SCR 1013 makes it to the ballot. While we are in the midst of the 2024 Arizona Legislative Session we need to take this opportunity to remind you that your voter registration deadline is Tuesday, February 20th. Register to vote, share on your social media and tell you friends!
In this week's Inclusive Policy Postcard, learn more about SCR 1013 and how you can join us in sharing our stories to stop it in its tracks - read on for local news updates.
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
SHARE YOUR STORY AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST SCR 1013
SCR 1013 is a dangerous resolution that would establish rules related to pronoun use in schools and ban trans Arizonans from using school bathrooms, locker rooms, and shared facilities consistent with their gender identity.
There is an unfortunately possibility that SCR 1013 will move to the Senate floor very soon. Together with the LGBTQIA2S+ Working Group, we are currently gathering stories from Arizona families and youth who will be impacted by the rhetoric surrounding anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, and specifically SCR1013. The goal of this is to arm our friendly legislators with stories to share on the floor. Each story will remain private and/or anonymous if requested.

RISE UP AND TAKE ACTION FOR LGBTQIA2S+ YOUTH!
