Subject: Fwd: URGENT: Hearing Notice for Transgender Athlete Ban

My sister just shared this with me. Her sweet little boy will be affected
by this idiocy. I know this is short notice but please send emails opposing
these bills today if you can. If there are any friends who you could share
with, their support would be so appreciated. It breaks my heart that
Republicans are using trans kids as political bait. ��

Republicans in the State Legislature are on a mission to restrict the
rights and freedoms of the transgender community in Wisconsin. We just got
word that they have scheduled a hearing on the Transgender Athlete Ban (AB
377) on Wednesday October 4th, at 10:00am in room 417N GAR in the State
Capitol. We need your voice to stop it!

Urgent Action Alert:
The Transgender Athlete Ban has been scheduled for a public hearing.

 Michele,

Republicans in the State Legislature are on a mission to restrict the
rights and freedoms of the transgender community in Wisconsin.

*We just got word that they have scheduled a hearing on the Transgender
Athlete Ban (AB 377) on Wednesday October 4th, at 10:00am in room 417N GAR
in the State Capitol.
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/70685696/430121942/-1288864955?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAxNi8xLzEwNDI5OSIsDQogICJEaXN0cmlidXRpb25VbmlxdWVJZCI6ICJmYTk4MjBhYy1jYzVmLWVlMTEtOTkzNy0wMDIyNDgzMmViNzMiLA0KICAiRW1haWxBZGRyZXNzIjogIk1pY2hlbGUuVGhlcmVzZS5zbWl0aEBnbWFpbC5jb20iDQp9&hmac=fgZUj1LasJefWvhNeCTLeyGim48h5qXYLNQfcMdugOw=&emci=ec49438a-975f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&emdi=fa9820ac-cc5f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&ceid=15550056>*

We need your help to turn out as many voices as possible and send a clear
message to lawmakers that attempting to restrict our bodily autonomy, our
freedom to play sports, and our ability to access life saving health care
is unacceptable.

*We need you to come and tell your story on October 4th. *

If you are unable to make it to the committee hearing on Wednesday, *you
can still submit written testimony* that will be included in the official
bill record. Make sure to address it to the entire committee and include
your name,  city, zip code, and a brief statement describing your
opposition to the bill. *Then you can email it to
testimony at fairwisconsin.com <testimony at fairwisconsin.com>, and we will make
sure it is included!*
*Submit Written Testimony* <testimony at fairwisconsin.com?subject=&body=>

In addition to the Transgender Athlete Ban, Republican leaders have also
advanced the Transgender Youth Medical Care Bans that they introduced
earlier this week.

Late last night, the bills were assigned numbers and referred to committee. *We
are expecting these bills to move very quickly though the legislative
process, and we are anticipating hearings on these bills as early as next
week.* You can find the official bill information below:

AB 465 - Referred to the Committee on Health, Aging and Long-term Care
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/70685697/430121943/-1128682808?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAxNi8xLzEwNDI5OSIsDQogICJEaXN0cmlidXRpb25VbmlxdWVJZCI6ICJmYTk4MjBhYy1jYzVmLWVlMTEtOTkzNy0wMDIyNDgzMmViNzMiLA0KICAiRW1haWxBZGRyZXNzIjogIk1pY2hlbGUuVGhlcmVzZS5zbWl0aEBnbWFpbC5jb20iDQp9&hmac=fgZUj1LasJefWvhNeCTLeyGim48h5qXYLNQfcMdugOw=&emci=ec49438a-975f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&emdi=fa9820ac-cc5f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&ceid=15550056>

SB 480 - Referred to the Committee on Health
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/70685698/430121944/1931453890?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAxNi8xLzEwNDI5OSIsDQogICJEaXN0cmlidXRpb25VbmlxdWVJZCI6ICJmYTk4MjBhYy1jYzVmLWVlMTEtOTkzNy0wMDIyNDgzMmViNzMiLA0KICAiRW1haWxBZGRyZXNzIjogIk1pY2hlbGUuVGhlcmVzZS5zbWl0aEBnbWFpbC5jb20iDQp9&hmac=fgZUj1LasJefWvhNeCTLeyGim48h5qXYLNQfcMdugOw=&emci=ec49438a-975f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&emdi=fa9820ac-cc5f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&ceid=15550056>

Republicans have also introduced bills that seek to *criminalize doctors*
who provide gender-affirming care and require that they display notices in
their offices aimed at frightening patients.

SB 479 - Referred to the Committee on Health
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/70685699/430121945/1118141627?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAxNi8xLzEwNDI5OSIsDQogICJEaXN0cmlidXRpb25VbmlxdWVJZCI6ICJmYTk4MjBhYy1jYzVmLWVlMTEtOTkzNy0wMDIyNDgzMmViNzMiLA0KICAiRW1haWxBZGRyZXNzIjogIk1pY2hlbGUuVGhlcmVzZS5zbWl0aEBnbWFpbC5jb20iDQp9&hmac=fgZUj1LasJefWvhNeCTLeyGim48h5qXYLNQfcMdugOw=&emci=ec49438a-975f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&emdi=fa9820ac-cc5f-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&ceid=15550056>

All of these bills are a frightening example of politicians once again
inserting themselves into best practice medical care decisions that should
be made between patients, their doctors, and their families.

*We need you to call your legislators and tell them to oppose AB 465, SB
480 and SB 479. If they don't answer, leave a message and tell them to stop
playing political games with transgender youth. *
*Find your Legislator*

We know this is a scary time.  But we want to assure you that Fair
Wisconsin and a coalition of leaders from across our state are hard at work
fighting these harmful bills, and *we will do everything in our power to
make sure they never become law. *

*On a more positive note, Governor Evers has reaffirmed his commitment to
protecting the LGBTQ+ community, especially our transgender and non-binary
youth. He has promised that if this legislation makes it to his desk, he
will veto it.

Now is the time to fight back. Let's get to work.

In solidarity,
Sean
