ACLU Supporter, while students go back to school this year, we're preparing to go back to the Supreme Court.

It's a new term, and in just a few months we'll be arguing in front of the Justices to defend transgender students' right to play sports. Here's what to know:

During a surge of anti-trans legislation, states like West Virginia banned transgender girls from playing sports. We sued on behalf of an eleven-year-old girl who was banned from her middle school track and cross country teams – and we've won against this cruel restriction in the lower courts.

Now, West Virginia has appealed to the Supreme Court to review the case, where we'll keep fighting against this discriminatory ban.

We'll be clear: Every student should have a chance to play and compete – and no child should be denied opportunities because of who they are. While we fight for these rights, we wanted to remind students in public schools that you have the right to be yourself in school, too. This school year, know your rights:

We'll never stop fighting for a world where every LGBTQ youth grows up safe to be who they are.

Together,

The ACLU Team
