If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.
1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

This isn’t over—we can still stop the GOP bill. I’m staying in the fight for every baby who shouldn’t go hungry. Every senior who shouldn’t get kicked out of a nursing home. Every American who shouldn’t lose their health care.

Now is the time to call your senators.
Look Up Your Senators' Numbers
Call your senators today and demand that they vote NO on this bill.

"senator ____ must support the point of order to remove section 71114's anti-trans medicaid ban. democrats must stand together to protect all americans’ right to access the medical care they need.”

Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, says Democrats will raise a point of order to strip the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care in OBBB: "this is a private choice for adults. It should belong to them."

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Given the proposed mask ban in New York, now feels like a good time to remind folks that disability advocates in Illinois are trying to codify the right to wear masks into law

If successful this could be a critical step in protecting the right to mask across the US

See below for how you can help!
Mask bans already exist in certain States and counties.

Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates.

Organizing to codify the right to wear medical masks and respirators is (sadly) needed.

Masking is community care and resistance.

Illinois attempting to codify right to mask into law:
HB3853: The Protective Medical Equipment Freedom Act
The website of the Protective Medical Equipment Freedom Act, a landmark Illinois bill which establishes the right to wear masks and other protective equipment.

Just shy of two hours left on this deadline, and countless people have taken the few minutes to submit a comment — thank you. Will you ask a friend to do the same? We want to double our numbers before 11:59pm tonight!
The proposed anti-trans passport changes are a clear attack on trans people's rights to have correct identification. And for some people, their passport is their only chance. Today is the deadline for one of the three portals taking comments — it takes <5 minutes! transequality.org/news/freedom...

I put together a list of sapphic publishers and authors who sell books directly to readers.

Note: This list is meant to give readers more option; it's not a call for a blanket boycott of Amazon since that would mean boycotting many indie authors.

Fighting for trans rights is the most important thing you can do this Women’s History Month.

This month remembers the liberation of women from the patriarchal vice that kept women from being as free and equal participants in public life for centuries.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.

S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.*

short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵

legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...
a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.

no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.

please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.
