Supreme Court’s Ruling Banning Transgender Youth From Sports Teams
We condemn the Supreme Court’s ruling banning transgender youth from sports teams. There is nothing American about banning kids from sports simply for being themselves. Our schools must be safe, accessible spaces for every child.
Sports are not a privilege. They are community. They are belonging. They are a daily signal to a young person that they have a place in this world.
We’re calling on Congress to pass the Equality Act and establish full civil rights protections for LGBTQIA+ Americans. The dignity of every child is non-negotiable. https://naacp.org/…/naacp-stands-transgender-athletes…

Becerra took a stand last year against Newsom’s position of freezing Medi-Cal enrollment for undocumented immigrants – and has vowed to preserve and stabilize Medi-Cal coverage for roughly 1.4 million immigrants. Now his opponent Hilton is making this a primary issue of his campaign and “has promised to eliminate their coverage and has echoed national Republicans who have skewered California’s expansions to bolster their claims of fraud and abuse in the Medicaid program.”
