Equality California

We’re done with X. The rise in hate speech, bot attacks, and disinformation has made the platform increasingly hostile — especially for the communities we serve. Like many, we’re ending active posting here. But don’t fret: We’re on MANY other platforms — so be sure to follow us!

After an #earthquake, be ready for aftershocks over several days or weeks. Listen to local radio and TV programs for reliable emergency information and watch out for official emergency alerts. #ListosCalifornia

Our statement on today's HHS anti-transgender healthcare "report." Let’s be absolutely clear: Transgender people have always existed—and no administration, no law, no lie, and no crusade of hate will erase them. Full statement: eqca.org/hhs-report-202…

Thank you to California's own @RepMarkTakano and @EqualityCaucus for leading on reintroduction of the #EqualityAct. It has never been more urgent to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available:

We are proud to support #AB727 by @AsmMarkGonzalez, especially at a time when funding for LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention is being cut. Shame on @HHSGov and @SecKennedy for putting already vulnerable lives in danger. politico.com/news/2025/04/2…

Join Managing Director Tom Temprano in WeHo for Safeguarding Our Rights - The First 100 Days Town Hall & Resource Fair. We’re in a critical moment — now’s the time to reclaim our power, stand together, and strengthen our community. See you inside the City Council Chambers!✊

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available: • Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. • Call (877) 565-8860 for Trans Lifeline (TGI individuals). • Call (866) 488-7386 for the Trevor Hotline (LGBTQ+ people 24 and under).

Suicide prevention demands investment, not abandonment. LGBTQ+ youth face heightened risks—and in moments of crisis, access to affirming, immediate support can be life-saving.

Per our friends at @TrevorProject: • Over 1.8 million LGBTQ+ youth seriously consider suicide each year. • The current LGBTQ+ youth hotline has supported more than 1.2 million callers. • After the last inauguration, Trevor’s crisis services saw spikes in demand—up to 46%

Shame on @SecKennedy and @HHSGov for plans to defund a critical suicide prevention hotline for LGBTQ+ youth—an already vulnerable population currently under attack by the Trump Administration. advocate.com/politics/trump…
