Friend, as transgender people in the United States continue to face alarming attacks on their health and safety, Attorney General Letitia James has made one thing absolutely clear: Every person deserves access to medically necessary care without interference from the government or a politician.

And yet, with just the stroke of a pen, the federal government is trying to do just that. In an effort to pause gender-affirming care, this administration is pushing policies that directly attack the rights, dignity, and well-being of transgender youth across our country.

These efforts are outright wrong, both in science and the law.

Here in New York, we follow the law – not extremist political agendas.

And the law is indisputable: denying care based on gender identity is discrimination. That's why Attorney General James has made it clear that any attempt to withhold or deny care to transgender individuals will not be tolerated.

As she continues to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in the state of New York and across the country, she needs to hear from 10,000 fearless fighters – including you – before midnight. So please, let her know:

Do you believe it should be unlawful to deny gender-affirming care?
