Tell Your Senator: Bans off Trans Bodies

On December 17, the House voted through two anti-trans bills that would ban medically necessary care for trans youth and punish doctors and parents.

Pledge to Vote No on Anti-Trans Ballot Initiative

Join Mainers in pledging to vote NO to save Maine values and freedoms, and protect our Maine kids.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s H.R. 3492 would criminalize trans healthcare for youth, and subject parents and doctors to arrest, prosecution, and up to 10 years of prison time.
Dan Crenshaw’s H.R. 498 would prohibit federal Medicaid funds from covering transition-related care for adolescents, creating a de facto ban for families who already face significant economic barriers.
These bills do not protect children – they persecute them.
Email and call your representative now to tell them to support youth, not harmful political agendas.
