As we remember the life and legacy of Harvey Milk today, we re-commit ourselves to his vision: “All young people, regardless of s*xual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.” —Harvey Milk

Today and every day, we will fight for all LGBTQ+ people to be safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🚨 After several delays, the House will vote on H.R. 2616 TOMORROW, May 20th. If passed, it would strip federal funds from schools that acknowledge transgender people exist, whether it’s in coursework, a library resource, or even for using a student’s correct name and pronouns in the classroom.

H.R. 2616 would effectively ban any books and other classroom materials that reflect the real lives and experiences of transgender and nonbinary students, as well as impose forced outing policies on school districts around the country. Public schools should be places where young people can feel safe, learn, explore ideas, and see themselves reflected in the stories they read. But this bill threatens that principle.

Your member of Congress needs to hear from you NOW. Contact your Representative today and tell them to OPPOSE H.R. 2616 and get to work ensuring ALL students can get a quality public education. Take Action NOW: pflag.org/takeaction
