Tell your state senator: protect LGBTQ people in NH

Act Now

LGBTQ people belong in New Hampshire – but right now, the New Hampshire Senate is deciding on five bills that are harmful attacks on their rights. These bills have already passed the State House of Representatives, meaning if they are passed by the Senate, they could be heading to Governor Sununu’s desk.

One bill, HB 396, would roll back anti-discrimination protections for transgender people in schools, sports teams, safer carceral housing placements, and other spaces – which would violate the rights of transgender Granite Staters under state and federal law as well as create an avenue to increase discrimination and harassment they already face.

HB 619 and HB 1660 target essential healthcare for transgender youth, which is widely recognized as the only evidence-based approach to addressing the physical, mental, and emotional needs of transgender youth and is essential in reducing severe mental health risks.

Lastly, HB 1205 and HB 1312 target transgenders students in school. HB 1205 would ban transgender girls from playing on middle school, high school, and college teams corresponding to the gender they live every day, and HB 1312, a classroom censorship bill, would require parental notification on any course material referencing LGBTQ health and identities.

There's no time to wait: Tell your state representative to oppose HB 396, HB 619, HB 1660, HB 1205, and HB 1312 when they vote soon! And if you’ve already taken action here, please consider also sending an email to your state representatives, who are also deciding on harmful bills, using this form.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
