Below is an explanation of the bills that are trying to prevent transgender athletes from participating in high school, and in some cases, college and elementary school sports. When possible, we've provided a list of emails or links to contact lawmakers. In some cases, we can provide a script to make it easy. You can copy and paste or add your own thoughts.
Each time a bill is heard and voted on, lawmakers consider the outreach from constituents and others who write in to express support or opposition to a bill. Writing and calling lawmakers does make a difference.
