"Now these bills have reached the final stage, Governor Newsom must sign them into law, and we need your help to urge him to do so,"
"As trans rights face growing attacks nationwide and federal protections are rolled back, California must continue to lead the way."
"We expect our leaders to uphold those values,"
"When the federal government fails to protect us, we look to our state to have our back."
Trans groups are asking Governor Gavin Newsom to sign five bills passed by the California legislature that aim to strengthen protections for trans people. The bills would expand discrimination protections, codify rights to privacy and safety, and declare California a state of refuge for the trans community. TransFamily Support Services co-sponsored the measures and described their passage as a major victory achieved through collective effort. The organisation calls on Californians to contact the governor’s office to demand signatures, framing the push as necessary amid nationwide increases in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and reduced federal protections.
