Help us stop the anti-transgender SB 208! We likely have until 1:30pm tomorrow, Thursday, February 25, before the Senate Education Committee votes to send the bill to the full Kansas senate.
Senate Education Committee members need to hear from you. With your help, we may be able to stop this bill. But we can’t do it without your help. Contact information for the committee members is below. If you’d like to watch the recording of yesterday’s hearing on the bill, it’s available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/r5pFd-5nfq0 (Content warning: Lots of transphobia in the first 20 minutes).
If you are able to connect with these senators by phone, or hear back via email, please let us know at info@eqks.org how it went.
As always, please be polite! Some of these senators are sympathetic to our mission.
