Today, we joined dozens of Floridians from across the state at the Board of Medicine meeting in Tampa to speak out against actions that add unnecessary barriers to health care for our transgender community.

Today's abortion ban ruling shows us two things:
👀 Anti-abortion extremists will do anything they can to interfere with our private medical decisions.
👀 The only thing that can stop them is Florida voters!

FL Supreme Court also approved the 15 week abortion ban, which means Florida's 6 week abortion ban will go into effect in 30 days.

The stakes for reproductive rights in Florida are incredibly high. Onward to November for a state where reproductive freedom is a reality for all.

ABORTION WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN FLORIDA!

This is actually the perfect representation of the 'debate' about trans healthcare because one of these books is edited by two medical doctors and the other is written by a former Wall St Journal columnist who went on Joe Rogan

After nearly 2 years of fighting DeSantis’ ​'Don’t Say ​Gay or Trans' law in the courts, we’ve reached a historic settlement with the state that puts an end to some of the most dangerous impacts of ​this law for students, parents, & teachers.

My Republican colleagues’ agenda of division and hate has turned the Tennessee Capitol into a battleground against authoritarianism.

Everyday they attack the humanity of our communities and silence any voice that dares to dissent.

This is a frontline in our fight for democracy.

Today is going to be a pretty long and rough day in the Florida Capitol. We’re about to hear some really bad bills today designed to strip already marginalized Floridians of their freedoms. This has got to stop! And we can stop it come November.

Hundreds of transgender Floridians & allies gathered for the #LetUsLive March today in Tallahassee — protesting the Trans Erasure Bill and multi-year attacks on the existence of trans people.

Thank you to the grassroots leaders across the state who made this march possible! 🏳️‍⚧️

The Trans Erasure Bill (HB 1639), which imposes sweeping mandates on private insurance companies and bans transgender Floridians from accessing accurate driver's licenses and IDs, passed its final committee in the Florida House yesterday.

🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL:🚨 Lawmakers are voting on the Trans Erasure Bill TOMORROW — Thursday, February 22nd.

'Students will participate and listen to a book written by an African American.'

This is what Gov. Ron DeSantis' anti-Black education policies have done to Florida schools: Students needing permission slips to learn Black history, and during Black History Month.

Alongside my Democratic colleagues in FL, I just sent a letter calling on the federal government to step in and help us end this discrimination.

Tonight I co-moderated an Equality Florida town hall with SouthernLegalCounsel to answer your questions about DeSantis’ hateful new anti-trans decree on driver licenses and IDs.

Still lots of unanswered questions, but I’ll continue to stand with trans Floridians against this bigotry. 🏳️‍⚧️
