The Legislature is still filing bills, but other bills are already hitting committees and the floor for votes. Take action with the campaigns at the link.

CALL

Calls on HB1271:  This bill says the public policy of Tennessee is that there are only two sexes. It is up for a vote on January 21 in the House Judiciary Committee at Noon Central Time. Its amendment from 2025 imposes this view in a sweeping way on local governments in Tennessee. Use the numbers and the scripts at the link to leave phone messages with members of the committee urging them to vote NO on the bill. If you prefer not to reach a live person, we recommend calling in the evening and on the weekend when legislators and their staff are typically not in the office.
