Official Daily Action for Wednesday, December 18, 2024
Yesterday we asked you to call Rep. Smith to thank him for opposing a provision added to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would restrict transgender healthcare for military families. The bill now goes to the senate, where we need both our senators to stand strong and not let this bill pass with these cruel restrictions. We can’t capitulate to Republicans’ attacks on minority rights before Trump even takes office.
Call both Senators:
Maria Cantwell: 202-224-3441 or http://www.cantwell.senate.gov/contact/email/form
Patty Murray: 202-224-2621 or http://www.murray.senate.gov/write-to-patty/
SCRIPT:
Hello, my name is [NAME] from [CITY,ZIP]. Please tell the Senator to stand up for LGBT rights and oppose the NDAA’s restrictions on transgender health care. We expect you to stand up for our rights during a second Trump administration. Please remove the riders or else vote this bill down.
