The U.S. Senate is set to vote on the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) this week, but it currently contains a one-sentence provision that would deny gender affirming healthcare to the children of service members. The NDAA already passed the House with this discriminatory language that will hurt military families, but we still have a chance for it to be removed in the Senate through an amendment being made by Senator Tammy Baldwin.
Your Senators need to hear from you immediately that you support the amendment to remove Sec. 708 from the NDAA.
Today the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on L.W. v. Skrmetti. Pride At Work, AFL-CIO stands with the Plaintiff families and physician, who are fighting for the freedom to keep medical choices about their kids in the hands of parents and doctors and make decisions based on medicine, science, and the physical and mental wellbeing of the patient. Extremist politicians have no business interfering with that. Trans kids and all of us deserve a brighter future, and we are committed to creating it.
