BREAKING: We are suing to block the state of Texas from investigating parents who support their transgender kids. Trans youth and their families have been under attack for too long. Enough is enough.

UPDATE: A judge has denied Darryl George’s request to return to school for his senior year — after having his education disrupted because of how he wears his hair. No student should have to work this hard to get an inclusive education.

BREAKING: Good news! The highest criminal court in Texas clarified that the State was required to prove Crystal Mason actually knew she was ineligible to vote in 2016. Her case is heading back to the Court of Appeals for further consideration. Our fight for justice is not over.

UPDATE: Texas AG Ken Paxton has sent 450k voter records to the federal government for “verification” — two weeks before early voting begins. As we and partners warned: This request is unlawful and could be used to purge qualified voters from the rolls.

VICTORY: The State of Texas can no longer investigate trans youth and their families who are members of @PFLAG for getting medically necessary care. The court's decision means these families can remain where they belong — together.

The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy. UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence. If you or someone you know needs legal support, call the Austin Lawyers Guild: 512-817-4254

BREAKING: Gov. Abbott signed #HB900 into law, which will ban books about LGBTQIA+, Black, and Brown experiences in public schools. Lawmakers have no right taking away the freedom of Texas students to read — just because they don’t believe certain people are worth reading about.

VICTORY: A federal judge has declared Texas’ drag ban unconstitutional. LGBTQIA+ Texans, venue owners, performers, and our allies all came together to uphold free expression in our state — and we won. This work isn’t done but for now we celebrate. Long live Texas drag!

BREAKING: A federal court has preliminarily blocked the Texas public school districts in our lawsuit from displaying the Ten Commandments in every classroom. 📢 This win for religious freedom reaffirms what we already know: Public schools are for educating, not evangelizing.

BREAKING: A federal judge just granted our request to temporarily block Texas’ drag ban from taking effect Sept. 1. Drag performers and LGBTQIA+ allied businesses belong in our state — and Texas politicians have no right to censor our free expression.
