Tennessee Community Town Hall on SB1

Tennessee’s SB1, which bans access to gender-affirming care for transgender people under the age of 18, is set to take effect on July 1 – and we know that this is a challenging time for transgender youth and their families. As we hold out hope that a new lawsuit from the ACLU of TN, ACLU, Lambda Legal, and private counsel will block SB1 from taking effect, we also know that it’s critical for families to take steps to prepare.

That’s why community and advocacy organizations came together for a Tennessee Community Town Hall, a virtual event focused on helping families navigate access to the gender-affirming care they need while feeling supported and uplifted by their communities. This event was hosted on Monday, May 1st by inclusion tennessee, Campaign for Southern Equality, Just Us at The Oasis Center, GLSEN Tennessee, Knox Pride, OUTMemphis, and Tri Cities Pride Community Center.
