Today’s Action: Tell Congress to support President Biden’s new Title IX regulations!
Last month, on the 50th anniversary of Title IX, President Biden announced plans to reinstate critical regulations tossed out by the Trump administration. The Department of Education announced that the revamped amendments would “make clear that preventing someone from participating in school programs and activities consistent with their gender identity would cause harm in violation of Title IX, except in some limited areas set out in the statute or regulations.” The change would protect abuse victims AND transgender students made needlessly more vulnerable by Donald Trump.
A strong Title IX, which protects students from sexual discrimination in educational settings, is absolutely critical in making our communities safe and inclusive. This correction is long past due.
Biden’s announcement made it clear where Democrats stand on sex- and gender-based discrimination, stating that “millions of women and girls have benefited from the changes that Title IX helped make possible.” He’s right — Title IX has provided countless students with more equitable opportunities. The Trump administration’s peel back of victim protections prevented survivors of sexual assault from receiving justice for years. It’s high time to take that power back!
Call (202-224-3121) or write your members of Congress and call on them to support Biden’s new Title IX regulations!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition demanding Congress ban AR-15s and other assault rifles, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
