I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.
Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.
His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

Good morning! I'm sitting down to make a bunch of calls before starting work for the day. Please do the same! This has to be sustained pressure, not just one day. This thread and the document within it are great resources if you need a script or numbers to call / places to email, as is yellat.money
I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones
Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign
But we can EASILY top 1,000!
I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!
↻💬♡ to boost
We CAN make a difference 💕
