📣ACTION ALERT! Last week, the Nebraska legislature passed LB 307, a bill that would connect Nebraskans with necessary treatment resources and HIV prevention measures. The bill was vetoed by Governor Pillen, and is up for an override vote as soon as tomorrow. (1/2) #Nebraska

We’ve partnered with @VeraInstitute to share the perspectives of 280 transgender people who are incarcerated—along with their recommendations for how policymakers and prison authorities can change rules and culture in positive ways. vera.org/advancing-tran…

So happy to have you! 🏛️

Tomorrow marks the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade. On this significant anniversary, we invite you to participate in drive-thru petition signing events in Omaha and Lincoln to safeguard abortion rights in Nebraska for generations to come! Details via @POR2024 ⤵️

Your speech matters, particularly before the #NEleg. Visit aclunebraska.org/kyr-capitol for what you need to know about your rights at the Capitol and what to do if you think they're being violated.

Stay warm!

Nebraskans weighed in Tuesday in 12-hour hearing on the state’s proposed gender care regulations. Most wanted looser regulations. From @ZachWendling2 nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/11/28/neb…

Throughout the year, community support helps sustain our crucial grassroots organizing, including powering our presence at today's hearing on LB 574's regulations. We hope you'll consider making a gift to OutNebraska this giving season. Give today at bit.ly/give2outne23!

Since the beginning of the year, so many of you have already spoken out in support of trans youth and their right to receive care. Today we are asking you, again, to make your voice heard. Resources here from our friends at @OutNebraska: outnebraska.org/lb-574-make-yo…

24 years ago, the first trans day of remembrance honored the lives of trans people that were lost due to violence and transphobia. Today we honored those 438 lives lost this year and we vow to defend the rights and lives of trans people across Nebraska. transremembrance.org/2023-remembran…

🕯 Today marks Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day when we remember and honor those we lost to anti-transgender violence in 2023—88% of those being people of color and 54% being Black transgender women. Learn more about those we lost this year: transremembrance.org
