Protect LGBTQ+ and Immigrant Sanctuary Communities
Cities and states have long been champions of our civil rights—providing protections and support where the federal government left gaps. But with Trump’s brutal attacks on LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, some states are using his shift in policy as cover to undermine protections for vulnerable communities.
Too many states, empowered by federal rollbacks, are introducing policies that compromise our civil rights, creating hostile environments for vulnerable communities like immigrants and LGBTQ+ folks. Unjust state and federal policies are throwing these communities into chaos and making it harder for sanctuary cities to live up to their promises of ensuring the safety and protection of everyone.
We need state and local decision-makers to act now to cement protections for the vital civil rights our LGBTQ+ and immigrant neighbors depend on.

Why is this important?
Iowa recently passed legislation to undo protections for trans people by removing gender identity from the state civil rights code—making it the first time a state has removed a protected class from a state law prohibiting discrimination. These changes will weaken legal safeguards against discrimination and affect the rights of transgender people at every turn—from hiring practices to health care access.
Meanwhile, congressional Republicans are targeting sanctuary cities like Boston and Chicago for the civil rights protections they guarantee to immigrants, attempting to force city governments to comply with Trump's mass deportation agenda, including ICE raids in workplaces, schools, and hospitals.
Make no mistake, these attacks don’t just affect targeted communities—they represent a dangerous erosion of our civil liberties and undermine the rights of ALL Americans.
Sign the petition to tell elected officials that they must safeguard our civil rights from Trump’s attacks.
