Families of Trans Youth: Access Resources
As we grapple with the passage of HB808, which prohibits the initiation of gender-affirming care for trans youth under 18, the Southern Trans Youth Emergency Project is here to help. Learn more and request resources here.
No one in North Carolina should face discrimination because of who they are.
It’s up to all of us to push our local leaders to pass LGBTQ protections, demand that state lawmakers fully repeal discriminatory laws and enact proactive protections, and urge our elected officials in the United States Congress and the NCGA to support comprehensive nondiscrimination laws.
Work Toward Local LGBTQ Protections
It's time for our local leaders to take action and protect LGBTQ people from discrimination. We’ve created NC is Ready™ action pages for some of the largest cities in North Carolina – or cities with large LGBTQ populations. If you live in one of these municipalities, click to urge members of your City Council to prioritize passage of common sense policies protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination in every area of life. If you live somewhere else in NC, click here for how you can take action.
