‼️ Call your legislators RIGHT NOW ‼️ Executive action on HB112 & HB113 has been rescheduled to take place TOMORROW MORNING, JANUARY 21. Time is running out - we can’t let our legislators pass these discriminatory and transphobic policies.

HB112 would prevent trans, nonbinary, and two-spirit youth from participating in sports at Montana public schools, and HB113 would bar medical professionals from providing gender-affirming healthcare to minors.

Already called your reps and looking for other ways to support trans youth? is hosting a phone bank TODAY @ 3-5PM MST to remind Montanans to contact their legislators. Anyone can join! Link in bio to sign up. @ Montana

Introducing our first member bio! Laura has taken on the secretary position for the Rocky Mountain College COTAD Chapter!
We felt it was important to highlight the members of this chapter, in order to be transparent. We recognize that we aren't a highly diverse program. but we hope the addition of this chapter will bring change. We hope to educate ourselves, faculty and our surrounding community.
