On January 29th, Donald Trump signed an illegal executive order that attempts to ban gender affirming care for youth under the age of 19, an attempt to detransition all trans children in the US. Despite this order being illegal and unenforceable, LA Children's Hospital is one of the few hospitals in the country that has begun withholding life-saving healthcare for trans children.

It is an outrage that Children’s Hospital LA leadership is failing to stand up for some of its most vulnerable patients. Join us for an emergency rally Thursday at 5:30pm to demand they reverse their decision.

This policy makes Children’s Hospital LA directly complicit not just in the Trump administration’s dangerous assault on trans people, but also in its attacks on all of our bodily autonomy, our healthcare system, and our human rights. Executive actions do not have the authority to override the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, and established legal precedent. Donald Trump wants to divide and weaken us by going after our marginalized and vulnerable neighbors, hoping that we’ll go along. That’s how he thinks he can gain power. We need to defend our rights to make sure they are not taken away. We need you with us.

Additionally, sign on to our letter here to demand Children's Hospital LA reverse their decision.
