Impacted by Florida’s Public Building Restroom Ban? We Want to Connect with You!

Florida Statute § 553.865, also known as H.B. 1521, is one of the many laws recently enacted as part of an anti-LGBTQIA+ agenda spreading across Florida. Targeting transgender, non-binary, gender-nonconforming, and intersex individuals, the law makes it a crime in Florida for someone in a multi-user restroom or changing facility in a building owned or leased by a government entity to refuse to leave that restroom or changing facility after an employee of that government entity tells them to.

If any of the following applies to you or your child, we would love to connect with you:

You or they are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or someone who has been perceived by others as gender-nonconforming and have been directly impacted by this law;
Since July 1, 2023, you or they have been told or forced to leave a restroom or changing facility located in a building that you believe may be owned or leased by a government entity in Florida on account of your or their perceived gender identity or expression or intersex traits;
Since July 1, 2023, you or they have been harassed or otherwise harmed for using a restroom or changing facility on account of your or their perceived gender identity or expression or intersex traits in a building that you believe may be owned or leased by a government entity in Florida.
