There's something you can do right now to help us defend our freedoms against Trump and Project 2025.

The State Department is accepting public comments through Monday, March 17 for people to submit their concerns about the new passport policy that forces trans, intersex, and nonbinary people to out themselves any time they have to show ID. The State Department is REQUIRED to review every comment before taking action. PLEASE USE THIS LINK BELOW TO COMMENT BEFORE THE 3/17 DEADLINE.

Denying trans people accurate passports would expose them to violence and discrimination anytime they have to show ID and keep them from traveling safely. It would impact every element of participating in public life – from flying, opening bank accounts, to enrolling in school, and more.

We are not providing a script because individualized comments are most impactful. But some talking points include:

Since this is a budget proposal, it is helpful to point out that this is a waste of government resources, because the end result benefits no one and harms many, including transgender and intersex people and their families.
Also indicate your concern as to what this information might be used for, when a person's presentation does not match their assigned sex at birth.
Please use your own language to make these points.

Donald Trump's transphobic, unconstitutional policies are trying to force trans people out of public life – but with your help, we won't let them. Please submit your comment today.

Thank you so much for holding the line and showing support for our most vulnerable communities!
