We have to do the work to kill this in the senate. There's nothing near a guarantee that it'll die on its own. Please, please contact your Democratic senators and demand they oppose it. This is literally a life-or-death bill for trans kids.
NEW: Many Democratic Senators said they hadn't seen Marjorie Taylor Greene's anti-trans bill and didn't say if it would fail. The only one who gave a hard commitment? Greene's fellow Georgian Raphael Warnock.

It has been years of red flag warnings for these lawmakers on why Section 230 is crucial to online speech and resistance, yet they keep coming back with this very bad idea so they can say they’re “fighting big tech”.
SB 3546 isn’t doing that. It’s giving Big Tech the green light to shut us all up.
