STAND UP AGAINST DISCRIMINATION Visibility
In New Hampshire, we’re experiencing repeated attacks against bodily autonomy, safety, and identity. Legislators are repeatedly drafting discriminatory policies that have real-world consequences for the lives of Granite Staters. On Friday, February 20th, we have an astounding 4 new proposed bathroom bills, and an alarming proposed piece of legislation that seeks to strike the phrase “gender identity” from state statutes—opening doors for further discrimination and weakening protections for people throughout the state.
Back Off Our Bodily Autonomy
In New Hampshire, our bodily autonomy, private health decisions, and access to health care are still under attack, despite how overwhelmingly unpopular bans and restrictions are amongst Granite Staters.
That’s why we’ll be rallying outside the New Hampshire State House on Thursday, February 19th from 9 AM to 10:30 AM to remind NH state lawmakers to protect our healthcare and to back off our bodily autonomy.
No Hate in Our State! Visibility + Testifying against anti-trans legislation
