72% of Americans support trans-inclusive sex ed according to our new polling conducted by YouGov!

You read that right, trans-inclusive sex ed is incredibly popular, even pulling majority support from Born Again Christians and those who voted for Trump in the 2024 election. So if you’re like most Americans, and want your school board to champion inclusive sex education, comment “WINNING ISSUE.” When you do, we’ll DM you the link to put you in contact with your school board and tell them that sex ed decreases bullying, fosters healthy relationships, and gives every student a chance at a better life – no exceptions.

#GoodNewsOfTheWeek 🥳Public pressure stops national voter-suppression bill!

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act would have prevented millions of Americans from being able to vote, but thanks to public pressure and the efforts of select senators, it’s dead for now. Laura Williamson, senior policy advisor at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said, “We are grateful to every senator who stood firm against it. To every American who called, wrote and organized to make their voice heard, thank you — your voice matters.”

We agree with Laura, your voice is powerful, and thanks to those who spoke up, millions will keep their right to vote. Now go forth and vote like democracy depends on it, because it does!

#GoodNewsOfTheWeek 🥳 Chicago Public Schools student IDs now double as library cards!

Chicago just turned every public school ID into a library card, giving 315,000 students instant access to books , online resources, research databases, and academic support across 81 Chicago Public Library branches. This initiative provides resources to people facing the greatest barriers to education, such as foster, undocumented, and unhoused youth. Mayor Brandon Johnson said, “With this expansion, every student — no matter their ZIP code, school enrollment or their age, will have access to library cards and programs and resources that make their lives more enriched.” What a huge win for equity all across Chicago!

This service is provided through interagency collaboration between Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Public Libraries, facilitated by The 81 Club. Thank you to everyone who worked together to make this win possible! When young people can access information freely, they are empowered to make informed decisions about their lives. We hope other cities take note and follow Chicago’s example!

#GoodNewsOfTheWeek 🥳Montana Supreme Court rules that its constitution protects trans citizens from discrimination!

On April 13th, Montana’s supreme court declared in a landmark 5-2 ruling that transgender discrimination is sex discrimination. This means that transgender people have a fundamental right to be themselves, including changing their gender markers on drivers licenses and birth certificates. The court also ruled that transgender Montanans are a suspect class, meaning any laws targeting them must meet the highest level of judicial scrutiny, a standard most anti-trans laws can’t survive.

This is a huge win for bodily autonomy and the right to be seen as we truly are! Justice Baker said, “when a person is forced to carry and display a government identification document that does not match who they look like or how they present themselves, this dishonors their dignity,” and we couldn’t agree more.
