New Hampshire says "No!" to Anti-Trans Legislation!
Members of the New Hampshire State Legislature
A new wave of anti-trans legislation is coming to the Granite State. Among the most extreme of these is HB1442. This bill reaches beyond public buildings into private businesses. It would allow bathroom and locker room policing based on sex. It also creates a new penalty framework tied to bathroom access and “willful” entry. That is an open attempt to push transgender people out of public life.
SNH DSA stands in solidarity with our trans comrades. We also want to be clear about what these bills would do to everyone else. Policies like this invite confrontation and harassment of anyone who does not meet a stranger’s expectation of how a man or a woman should look. They also erase intersex people and ignore basic reality. Sex and gender are not interchangeable, and human bodies do not fit neatly into the rigid boxes this legislation tries to impose.
This is government overreach. It is the state policing bodies and restricting public life in a place that claims “Live Free Or Die.” New Hampshire lawmakers should be focused on real needs in our communities, not targeting a small group of people to score political points.
We must call our representatives to vote NO on HB1442 and to oppose all other legislation targeting trans rights and civil rights in New Hampshire. Sign this petition to send an email to your legislators today.
Bills in this coordinated package include: HB1165, HB1217, HB1299, HB1376, HB1442, HB1447, HB1564, SB459, SB464, SB552 (and related measures).Sponsored by

[Your Name]
Dear Members of the New Hampshire Legislature,
I am a New Hampshire resident and constituent. I am writing to urge you to vote NO on HB1442 and to oppose the broader package of bills targeting transgender, non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming people, including HB1165, HB1217, HB1299, HB1376, HB1447, HB1564, SB459, SB464, and SB552.
HB1442 is an extreme government overreach. It would expand state control over how people use bathrooms and locker rooms, and it reaches into private businesses. It also creates a new penalty tied to bathroom access and “willful” entry. This is an attempt to police bodies and push transgender people out of public life.
These bills do not make New Hampshire safer. They increase the likelihood of confrontation and harassment in public spaces, including for cisgender people who do not match someone else’s expectations of how a man or a woman should look. They also disregard intersex people and the reality that sex and gender are not interchangeable.
New Hampshire’s motto is “Live Free Or Die.” These bills move us in the opposite direction. The Legislature should be focused on real problems that affect working people, not authorizing discrimination and encouraging public suspicion of our neighbors.
I am asking you to do two things:
1) Vote NO on HB1442, and reject any amendment that advances the same purpose.
2) Oppose the related anti-trans and civil-rights rollback bills listed above, and publicly commit to protecting equal rights and bodily autonomy for all Granite Staters.
