To: Joey Hensley, Senator and Andy Holt, Representative
Withdraw Tennessee House Bill 2620 and Senate Bill 2480
Please withdraw House Bill 2620 and Senate Bill 2480. Our state should not be spending its time and money defending discrimination, as other states already regret doing.
Why is this important?
The Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition Tennessee (TTPC) invites you to help ensure equal opportunities for all Tennessee children. Every year some legislators insist on attempting to attack transgender residents, both children and adults. They repeatedly rush to spend taxpayer dollars to do so. This year, they intend to force the state to pay the legal costs of any school which chooses to discriminate against the children it's intended to serve or its own employees. This bill was already presented and withdrawn once this legislative session. Now Sen. Hensley and Rep. Holt have chosen to pick it back up. There are better uses of our state resources than putting trans children and school employees at risk to deal with imaginary issues. All children deserve equal opportunities, and our state needs to be inviting to new business.
