Trans Rights Are Human Rights – take action today

Jul 26, 2017

This morning Donald Trump published a series of Tweets announcing a ban on transgender people serving in the US military.

HER is is a community of LGBTQIA+ people, with millions of transgender members and allies and we will not accept this. Our goal is to create a space for trans folks to feel completely safe — whether that’s on dating app or in the real world. Donald Trump’s bigotry, offensive discrimination and continued marginalization of the LGBTQ+ community is an attack on all of us and we must stand against this.

While details are surfaced about how he intends to implement this we want to make some things very clear.

  • Transgender military service people are loved, valued and honored by citizens for their service.

  • Transgender military members have chosen to stand for their country and we, in turn, must stand for them.

  • Our community will stand united and support our trans family. Because trans rights are human rights.

Below is a list of different ways you can help support trans people and the organizations that will be leading the fight against this ban.

We ask you to please contribute however you can but above all, please take action.
