Earlier this week, members of anti-LGBTQ special interest groups flooded a Nevada Board of Education meeting to try and stop the state from implementing policies that would protect transgender students in our schools.
Nevada is required to implement these policies under state law, but officials were inundated with negative, often transphobic, comments and failed to act. The state, being derelict in its duties, was bullied into taking no action and claims they are waiting on the Clark County School District to decide its policy first.
Southern Nevada's transgender youths need your help now! Join us at one or all of the upcoming public hearings to voice your support for a written policy that would protect trans students.

We must not let this bullying and discrimination be directed toward our students. Every student must feel welcomed and safe attending public school, including transgender students.
Read the recommendations made by the school district's working group on gender diverse policies. The ACLU of Nevada participated in the working group. And take this community survey to tell the Clark County School District it needs to protect transgender students.
