WELCOME TO ANTI FASCISM TACTICS
Critical call to Action
Section 708 of the NDAA would prohibit insurance coverage for “medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria” such as hormone therapy and puberty-suppressant medications, which Speaker Mike Johnson says would “permanently ban transgender medical treatment for minors.” The same treatments would be covered by TRICARE for any medical purpose other than treating gender dysphoria, the clinical diagnosis for the psychological distress experienced by transgender people related to their gender identity. So quite literally effective only against trans people.
Biden has promised repeatedly to veto legislation that would enshrine discrimination against transgender people into law. The bill now heads to his desk.
Tell our President that MUST reject this hijacked legislation and DEMAND that Congress send him a clean bill that supports military service members and their families.
HERE’S WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT:
EMAIL AMY KLOBUCHAR AND TINA SMITH
"Hello, my name is [name],
I'm a voter in [zip code] & I want to voice how disappointed I was to see that [NAME] voted in favor for the first anti-gay discriminatory legislation since the 1990s.
The NDAA has been weaponized and inappropriately used to uphold discriminatory medical practices and remove care for children. Gender affirming care is life-saving, and there’s no exception for the children of military families and veterans. Both the HRC and the ACLU have put out statements urging Biden to veto this dangerous bill. Can you clarify your position on human rights and how that position goes against best practices from the largest anti-discriminatory organizations in the United States?
It was a shock to see you support such violent changes for the people of Minnesota. I expect to see your office be less cowardly in the face of fascism and discriminatory tactics against marginalized communities. Until then, I hope you feel the weight of the 6000+ American Military families who children now face losing access to care that keeps them alive."
TELL JOE BIDEN TO VETO:

Please think of the 6000 military families loosing access to care for their children. You must veto the NDAA and demand congress send a clean version without any additional inappropriate provisions for a military aid bill."
