Yellow text on a red background reads "Feminists Against Voter Suppression: Defend Queer Youth in Arizona Textbank. Queer Youth Are Under Attack - Join our call to help fight back" below this text 3 people sit texting on phones and computers in a comfy dorm room. Below the illustration text reads: "The Feminist Front - Thursday August 22nd @ 7pm PT - thefeministfront.org/electoral-justice-now-our rights. Our Bodies. Our Lives. Our Vote" In the left hand corner text reads: "Supported by The Unitarian Universalist Fund for a Just Society"

Queer and transgender youth are under attack with local legislation mandating book bans, limiting gender-affirming care, instituting forced outing policies at schools, and more. These damaging and discriminatory policies emerge from and inflame anti-LGBTQ movements that are targeting school boards, city councils, and state legislatures while creating an anti-trans moral panic that deeply hurts our communities and leads to violence. The Human Rights Campaign has identified at least 22 transgender and gender nonconforming people who have been violently killed just this year alone, including Kitty Monroe in Phoenix, Arizona.

We won't let our communities be targeted by queerphobic legislation and messaging and killed by the resulting anti-LGBTQ violence. We are organizing and fighting back and we NEED you to join us. Join our non-partisan textbank to Defend LGBTQ Youth in Arizona on Thursday August 22nd at 7pm PT. At our textbank you can talk directly with unregistered young people in Arizona about registering and voting this November to protect LGBTQ people in the state. You do not need to be in Arizona to join and your help will make a real difference in this fight.

Feminists Against Voter Suppression: Electoral Justice Now is a non-partisan voter defense project of The Feminist Front focused on building youth and people of color power. We are helping young people and our communities vote. Join our movement of young people doing the labor of electoral justice to build power in our communities!
