ACTION ALERT: Oppose Anti-Trans Youth Sports Bill

The Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee is planning to vote on Senate Bill 9 on Wednesday, March 26th.

It’s vital that we ensure constituents in the districts of the following Senators on the committee express their opposition ASAP!

The following are members of the committee and would have a vote on this cruel bill. While this bill passed the Senate in the 2021-2022 session — it was vetoed by Governor Wolf. In the 2023-2024 session it was not even introduced in the State Senate. In this new session, the bill is being fast tracked. There is no expectation SB 9 will be considered in the House of Represenatives and Governor Shapiro has said before he would veto such a bill. Ensuring our Senators understand loud and clear their voters oppose anti-trans hatred is vital to pushing back against efforts to dehumanize trans and queer Pennsylvanians. Addressing this type of action at its outset lets our legislators know these efforts will not be tolerated.

At this time we are primarily targeting the following members for education on this issue. There will be future calls for action. Thank you for clicking the links below to write to your Senator if you live in the following districts, and sharing the following information with anyone you know who might be their constituents. Please contact us at info@payouthcongress.org with any questions or to get more involved.

If you are not sure what municipality you live in or would like to look up who your State Senator is in the official state database, please visit the State Senate website here.

Please only write to your State Senator. Senators ignore communications from those who don’t live in their districts.
