The subcommittee meeting may be the only chance for the public to testify in support of trans youth healthcare access in 2024 – so we want to be sure you know how to take action. There are three ways to testify.

Take action with the SC United for Justice & Equality team.

Let’s come together during the first week of the 2024 session in Columbia, SC to make our voices heard loud and clear that South Carolinians will do everything in our power to preserve dignity and equality for all.

Kenya Cummings on our Organizing team connected with hundreds of South Carolinians organizing against anti-LGBTQ+ bills last year. In 2024, they’re running a team of organizers from the Uplands to Low Country to make sure our friends and neighbors are ready to speak out for our rights when it matters most.

Donations will go toward supporting rapid response organizers in key regions across the state so they can put pressure on lawmakers when and where it will matter most.

“Nikki Haley’s comments about lawmakers staying out of this critical healthcare are part of a growing wave of public opinion from Americans who understand that the government has no place inserting itself in medical decisions that should be left to families.”

Today is World AIDS Day, a time to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and honor those who have lost their lives to AIDS related illnesses. The theme of this year’s World AIDS day is “Remember and Commit”. The word “remember” encourages us to take time to honor those we have lost. The word “commit” implores us to take collective action towards health equity for people living with HIV. At South Carolina United for Justice & Equality, we invite you to join us in committing to end HIV criminalization in our state.

Want to make a big difference for LGBTQ+ equality in South Carolina? We are seeking a team of 4 part-time contract hybrid organizers to engage in rapid response organizing at the SC Statehouse! Apply by December 6.

Share your story and concerns during this opportunity to speak with legislators about anti-LGBTQ+ youth bills in Greenville, Columbia, Florence and Charleston!

SC United for Justice & Equality Coalition calls on Senate Committee to Oppose Dangerous Legislation

Tomorrow, SC United and Protruth Coalitions are joining forces to host the “Truthfully United Solidarity Rally” at the statehouse from 8:15a-1p!

This powerful show of support for the trans community by healthcare providers comes just as South Carolina lawmakers are set to take up discussion of several anti-transgender bills.

We need to see you in Columbia at the Statehouse on March 29 to defeat this anti-transgender legislation: RSVP and tell us you’ll be there.

This Wednesday, March 15, at 9:00am, the Senate Subcommittee on Education is scheduled to consider H.3728 – a dangerous bill that would censor speech of educators across the state to ban discussion of racism and LGBTQ issues.

Come on Wednesday, March 8 to support transgender youth in South Carolina.

Whether you’re a transgender young person, the parent or caregiver or family member of a trans youth (ages 18-26), a healthcare provider, or a teacher devastated by the message these bills send to young people, please share with us using this form.

South Carolina lawmakers may vote on an abortion ban bill as soon as next week. And until then, we need to flood our lawmakers’ phone lines with calls, demanding that they drop this dangerous legislation.

The bill is a powerful refutation of an unprecedented barrage of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation filed in South Carolina at the start of the 2023 legislative session.

Tell your lawmakers: Oppose these horrific attacks on transgender young people in South Carolina. Send a message now to help stop all anti-transgender healthcare bans.
