Across the county, we've seen record levels of legal attacks on our trans community.
We know having our rights debated is scary, stressful, and just generally awful.
The good news is we can fight back and win!
Here's a guide for how we can do that in Kansas. #ksleg

🤠 Happy #juneteenth!
Team Vote Neigh recognizes the disparities in pregnancy care, abortion care, and general healthcare between Black communities and that of any other race. There is no abortion justice without Black liberation.

Because there is so much opposition to HB2717, the anti-safe & welcoming bill, they’ve limited opponents testimony to 1 minute each- even though proponents get 5 minutes each.
Since our verbal testimony is limited, we’ll make sure to post our opposition testimony here. #ksleg
Team loud light is at the #ksleg statehouse today!
Our folks are personally testifying on the anti-immigrant bill HB2717 that bans Safe & Welcoming communities & the new Senate redistricting maps.
