Not Going Back! #ProtectTransKids

February 23, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

**DALLAS LGBTQIA AND ALLIES- WE NEED YOUR VOICES**

The Trump administration sent a “guidance letter” via the Justice and Education Departments to schools across the country announcing that President Obama’s guidelines to protect the rights of transgender students are “withdrawn and rescinded.”
This action leaves transgender students open to **official** discrimination by school authorities and others, and is unacceptable. Trans students in Texas are particularly at risk for active discrimination by local school authorities across the state. Our governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general seek to make such discrimination legal by passing laws that deny safety, privacy, and dignity to all transgender Texans in public schools.
Join us at 7pm at Belo Garden in response to this attack on the youngest and most vulnerable members of our community! Join our message to the Trump administration, Gov. Abbot, Lt. Gov. Patrick and Attorney Gen. Paxton:

**We will fight to preserve the privacy, safety and dignity of the trans community, especially trans youth, from their immoral and unconstitutional attacks and we demand that protections for #transkids be enacted now! **
