  • Stop the SAVE Act

    Stop the SAVE Act

    US Citizens and residents, please call your senators and representatives to oppose this act, which would disenfranchise most trans people. Please do this ASAP, the committee meeting on this bill is Monday 31 March at 4pm Eastern.

    Republicans want to remove voting rights from anyone who has changed their name unless that person has also updated their birth certificate or has a valid passport. This is nominally to prevent virtually non-existent voter fraud. But the real target is taking the vote away from their wives.

    There is nobody Republican men hate more than the women they’re married to. Most republican women have changed their names and don’t have passports. We’re an incidental target, but we’d still lose the right to vote.

    Democrats Abroad have more information and a script for calling.

    US Citizens & Residents: Call Against the Stopgap Bill

    Holding on to the rights of trans people in the US requires solidarity with other areas under attack by Trump. Democrats Abroad shares our goal of slowing down or stopping the Musk/Trump agenda. They are asking for people to call their senators, asking them to vote no on the stopgap spending bill.

    DA has a script to use with Democrats and one for Republicans in the Senate. It’s a good script but we would like to ask you to also mention trans rights when you are speaking with Democrats.

    If you have ideas for what sort of actions you would like to see, especially direct actions, please leave a comment.
