UPDATED: SB 14 headed back to the House, advocates urge opponents to rally at the Capitol
This Friday, March 5, Senate Bill 14, which would ban gender-affirming healthcare for transgender minors in Texas, is once again on the agenda for the Texas House of Representatives.
And LGBTQ advocates will once again gather at the state Capitol to rally against its passage. “Wear purple to identify with allies,” organizers urged. “We are asking advocates to arrive [at the Capitol] at 9 a.m.
and go to Room E2.1002 and hear the schedule for the day,” organizers with Equality Texas say at their “SB 14 Day of Resistance” website. According to an email from Texas Freedom Network, there will be a safety training at 9:30 a.m, and “event/space/rally with legislators” at 10 a.m., a hot lunch provided at noon and a rally at 1 p.m.
The location for the lunch and rally are yet to be determined; sign up Debate on SB 14 is tentatively scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. RSVP here to get updates throughout tonight and tomorrow.
