Tell the Trump Administration: the attack on trans students will not stand!

The Trump administration has gone after the latest group it has chosen to attack: transgender students. The Department of Education and Department of Justice have announced that they are overturning the school guidance on protecting transgender students—a life-saving policy that told schools to treat trans students fairly and according to their gender identity.

We need to show the President, Secretary Betsy DeVos, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions that this nation will not tolerate this callous attack on our children. Use the form below to share your story or comments with the leadership of the White House, along with Department of Justice and Department of Education, about why taking away this guidance is harmful, immoral, and dangerous or how that affects you or a trans person in your life. You can also call the White House and the Departments at the numbers below and tell them to keep the guidance supporting transgender students.

You can learn more about what overturning the guidance means for you here. And visit our School Action Center to find out what more you can do to improve policies supporting trans students at your school.

Important note: Your story or comments will go to the Department of Justice, Department of Education, the White House, and NCTE. That means that all or part of what you write might be used by NCTE to help advocate for trans students, or might become public in other ways. You shouldn’t include personal identifying information with your story if you would not want it to be public. 


You can also call the White House, Department of Justice and Department of Education to tell them to keep Title IX protections in place!
