SUMMARY:Unite for Trans Youth Lives!
DESCRIPTION:Across Illinois and the nation\, trans youth are under attack. From hospital systems quietly canceling gender-affirming care to state and federal actions undermining protections and shutting down necessary emergency services\, our youth are being systematically stripped of their right to exist\, thrive\, and receive affirming and lifesaving medical and mental health care.\nThis is a state of emergency. Illinois is a sanctuary state\, but even here\, major institutions are walking back care without warning or accountability. These decisions leave families in crisis and send a dangerous message: that trans lives are disposable. \n\nJoin us as we take to the streets to demand: \n\nThe immediate restoration and expansion of gender-affirming care for trans youth in Illinois in alignment with the Illinois Human Rights Act and internationally accepted medical recommendations. \n\nA public commitment from elected officials and healthcare providers defending trans youth rights at every level.\nRestoration and future protection of necessary emergency services provided through 988 suicide prevention line for LGBTQ+ youth including the contract with The Trevor Project. \n\nThis is a call to action for trans youth\, families\, providers\, allies\, organizers\, and anyone who refuses to be silent while care is actively taken away from our most vulnerable. \n\nBring your signs\, your voices\, and your rage. This is a fight for trans futures. \n\n Trans youth deserve care.  Trans youth deserve safety.  Trans youth deserve to live.  Trans healthcare is a human right. \n\nEvent is hosted by: Brave Space Alliance\, Chicago Therapy Collective\, Equality Illinois\, and Trans Up Front IL\nPlease direct endorsements and volunteer requests to: outreach@transupfrontil.com
