BREAKING: The Arkansas legislature overrode Governor Hutchinson’s veto on HB 1570, a bill that would ban health care for trans youth.

We are preparing litigation as we speak.

This decision ignores dozens of local doctors, national medical experts, as well as trans youth and their parents.

Gender-affirming care is life-saving care.

Banning it will have devastating — and in some cases, deadly consequences.

This bill will drive families, doctors and businesses out of the state, and sends a terrible and heartbreaking message to transgender people who are watching in fear.

Trans youth in Arkansas: We will continue to fight for you.

We will always have your back, and we’ll be relentless in our defense of your rights.
