Support for Transgender Sanctuary City Legislation in Lakewood

Lakewood City Council

Trans rights in Ohio and nationwide are under attack, so what do we do? Stand up, fight back!

Legislation has been introduced to Lakewood City Council to make Lakewood into a Transgender Sanctuary City. This would protect trans people from federal and state laws that criminalize gender nonconforming presentation and gender affirming care. The Trump Administration is targeting trans people with unjust attacks at every turn. Lakewood prides itself on being a Progressive city by recognizing Pride Month. Supporting this legislation is another way that we can show that Lakewood residents stand behind our values. Let Lakewood City Council know that you stand with the trans community!

As a Lakewood resident, I urge you to advance the Trans Sanctuary City resolution that has been introduced to City Council. This would protect trans people from federal and state laws that criminalize gender nonconforming presentation and gender affirming care. This resolution is crucial to protecting the rights of our trans and gender-nonconforming citizens and will demonstrate that the city truly lives its values. Please adopt this resolution as soon as possible.
