Okay so just so everyone knows, the Civil Rights Uniformity Act of 2017 would basically remove all hope for trans people in this country.

This is the Washington DC office for Representative Pete Olson, the sponsor of that bill. I just called and demanded that he stopped sponsoring the bill. PLEASE CALL THEM. THEY WILL PICK UP. THE MORE PEOPLE CALL THE BETTER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE HE’S FROM! THE NUMBER IS (202) 225-5951
A lot of people are asking me about what to say so here is a small script –
“I’m calling to voice my disgust with the Civil Rights Uniformity Act of 2017. I demand that Pete Olson stop sponsoring this bill immediately. This bill is a targeted attack on American citizens and it goes against the constitution and the Bill of Rights. Tell Pete Olson he will not be re-elected if he sponsors this bill.”
They will probably ask you for your name and where you’re from after this – you don’t have to tell them, BUT IF YOU’RE FROM TEXAS, DO IT! BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE VOTING POWER TO ACTUALLY PREVENT HIM FROM BEING RE-ELECTED!
This is a link to all of the Texas offices’ phone numbers too, if they close the phones for the DC office:
I just called, at 5:30 central time and the office was closed but I left a voice mail! Please y’all, please I’m begging you, y’all say you’re here for trans peeps, like this is it, lol legalized discrimination is about to go through and we need to scream out in dissent this is huge, this is important, if you can help in anyway even if it’s just sharing this or sending an email, please, please people’s lives are on this.
