We've broadened Medicaid to include gender-affirming surgeries. Our schools have adopted an inclusive LGBTQ+ curriculum, teaching students about influential figures like Marsha P. Johnson and Harvey Milk. The state board of education is putting in place gender-inclusive rules, making sure our schools are open and supportive for everyone. I'm also happy to say that my administration is the most diverse one the state has ever seen.

In New York City, everyone is protected under the human rights law, regardless of how they identify. Employers must use the pronouns that individuals prefer, regardless of their appearance or assigned sex at birth. It is illegal to refuse to use someone's preferred pronouns or ask for medical documentation of gender-affirming care. New York City celebrates and respects pronouns every day, not just on International Pronouns Day. For more information, visit nyc.gov/dashhumanrights or call 212-416-0197.

The fire department is launching its first diversity, equity, and inclusion bureau to create a fair workplace environment. This initiative comes after the appointment of the department's first female chief, Kristen Crowley, and aims to address significant disparities in hiring, with only 8% of applicants being women. The bureau will focus on training and enforcing accountability, responding to long-standing calls for change. Advocacy groups have highlighted issues of abuse, bullying, and a culture of intimidation within the department, prompting the need for this new structure to improve conditions for all employees.

The speaker outlines inclusive programs intended for all New Yorkers, emphasizing that these programs will not inquire about anyone’s immigration status when enrolling children. The assertion is that all children, regardless of where they were born or come from, should be enrolled in pre-K and 3-K. The speaker also notes pride in being a sanctuary city, and proceeds to define what that means in practice for the city. According to the speaker, sanctuary city policies have existed for years and restrict ICE agents from accessing certain locations unless they present a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Specifically, the speaker states that ICE agents are denied entry into schools, hospitals, city properties, or the properties of city contractors without such a warrant. The speaker also claims that, in most instances, ICE does not present this kind of documentation. When documentation is presented, it tends to be an administrative warrant, and there are often times when no documentation is provided at all. In sum, the speaker emphasizes two core points: first, a commitment to universal enrollment for children in pre-K and 3-K without regard to immigration status or birthplace; and second, a declaration of sanctuary city protections that restrict ICE access to key city spaces unless a judicial warrant is provided, highlighting that the typical or actual documentation from ICE is frequently lacking or limited to administrative warrants. The overall message underscores protecting the rights of every New Yorker within the framework of sanctuary city policies and long-standing city practices designed to limit immigration enforcement actions in certain contexts.

Verona is flying the progress pride flag year-round as a symbolic protest against the Trump administration. Mayor Luke Diaz emphasizes that while the city aims to avoid conflicts with the federal government to secure funding, displaying the flag is a non-negotiable stance on supporting marginalized communities. The Verona Common Council voted to keep the flag up for a year, a significant move compared to the usual practice of flying it only during pride month. The council's updated flag policy allows for its display anytime, especially in response to potential anti-LGBTQ leadership. Diaz expresses confidence in Verona's ability to protect marginalized communities and hopes to collaborate with other cities and the state to resist discriminatory policies.

Doctors now use the term "pregnant person" instead of "pregnant women" to be more inclusive. This change acknowledges that women, non-binary individuals, and trans men are all people who can become pregnant. It is not about undermining feminism or women's rights, but rather about recognizing and including all individuals with a uterus.

Santa Ana is considering allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections, which has sparked mixed reactions. The city has been a Sanctuary City for undocumented immigrants since 2016. Some argue that noncitizen voting is already happening illegally and is unconstitutional, while others believe it is a step in the right direction, citing historical denial of voting rights to people of color. The discussion was initiated by Santa Ana city council members Jonathan Ryan Hernandez and a colleague, who believe that allowing noncitizens to vote would be beneficial in a city where almost a quarter of the residents are non-US citizens.

I am inspired by the vision for increasing diversity in the fire department, which includes a three-year strategic plan. Currently, only 115 out of 3,300 firefighters are women. The focus is on creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. However, there are criticisms regarding the prioritization of diversity over qualifications. Concerns are raised about the physical capabilities of some hires and the overall effectiveness of leadership in public safety roles. The discussion touches on broader societal issues, including perceived discrimination in aid distribution and the impact of identity politics on professional standards. The urgency of addressing these challenges is emphasized, alongside a call for accountability in leadership roles. Promotions and sales are also mentioned, encouraging support for the platform.

I can use the bathroom I identify with as a trans woman because it's legal in my state. Others won't bother me when I tell them I'm trans.

A battle occurred in Pennsylvania regarding a nondiscrimination bill. Support was withdrawn because public accommodations were removed, which would disproportionately harm the transgender community. The decision to remove support, along with other organizations, contributed to the bill's failure. The principle is that any legislation that disproportionately does not protect the trans community cannot be supported.

Minnesota ranks the highest per capita for being a safe haven for transgender individuals in Minnesota. And can I just say, we can talk about economic growth and feeding children and growing the economy and creating jobs simultaneously with talking about everybody's human rights matters, and we shouldn't be demonizing them? You can do both. The speaker asserts that economic growth, feeding children, growing the economy, and creating jobs can be pursued simultaneously with advancing human rights and that such discussions should not involve demonizing transgender people. This framing emphasizes a holistic approach to policy that integrates civil rights with economic aims.

State lawmakers have passed a bill banning students from using school restrooms that do not align with their sex assigned at birth. The state senate voted 24 to 7 in favor, and the bill now awaits Governor Mike DeWine's signature to become law. The legislation mandates separate bathrooms, locker rooms, and overnight accommodations based on biological sex as listed on birth certificates. Opponents argue this targets trans youth, with advocates expressing disappointment after a rally at the statehouse. Supporters claim the bill is focused on student safety. If signed, the law will take effect 90 days later.

We're reevaluating our current practices to ensure inclusivity. For example, we're taking a closer look at our gatehouse announcements. Instead of saying, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen," we're questioning if that's as gender-inclusive as we want to be moving forward. We're also examining the language in our employee manuals, to address potentially outdated descriptions.

Mary Andy Ginther addresses residents to discuss the increase in federal immigration law enforcement activity in the city. She states that while the city cannot prevent federal agents from being present, it does not discriminate against any residents based on immigration status. She says, “Do not obstruct federal law enforcement activity,” but if you see something you don’t think is right or interacting with law enforcement officials, it’s okay to record that conversation on your phone. She also emphasizes that residents should continue to feel safe to call Columbus police and 911. Ginther reassures residents that “Our police will not be used to carry out these operations.” She outlines rights and practical guidance for interacting with authorities. She instructs residents to create a safety plan with their family and loved ones, to carry identification or documentation of their status, and to stay calm and truthful when interacting with law enforcement. She reminds people, “Remember, you have the right to remain silent,” and advises memorizing the phone number of someone they can call if they need help. She reiterates that Columbus is already safe without federal intervention and urges residents to take care of one another. Ginther closes by noting that community leaders see and support you, expressing gratitude with “Thank you.”

In the middle of the night, Ohio politicians passed a controversial bill known as the "don't say gay" bill, initially introduced as the parents' bill of rights. Supporters claim it aims to strengthen the parent-child relationship, blaming teachers for any disconnect. The bill requires teachers to inform parents if a student confides about being part of the LGBTQ+ community. While some argue this is necessary for parental awareness, others believe it undermines the child's trust in teachers. A proposed amendment, dubbed the "shame on you" bill, suggests that parents who fail to create a safe environment for their children should be held accountable, as children should feel comfortable discussing important issues at home.

Policy is clear, though. Financial housing assistance is not just for all low income individuals, but instead particularly for those residents. So what can you explain about that and what's going on in Boston? Yes. So, Bob, they put race above reality. They put race above merit and need using the Fair Housing Act as a weapon to promote discriminatory housing policies. And at HUD, our responsibility is to uphold the Fair Housing Act, to uphold the law, and to enforce the law. And that's exactly why you see us launching this investigation. And you you alluded to in the city's own words, they say we will integrate racial equity at every layer of city government. What that tells us right there, it's not about need. It's not about, following the law, but it's about DEI. And at HUD, DEI is dead. It's over. And the president, with his leadership, this administration, we wanna uphold the law. We wanna protect the civil rights of every American. We are about equal rights, but not extra rights. And that's what you see going on in Boston. Yeah. They wanted to advance that DEI agenda instead of just having a fair playing field for for all of us.

The speaker discusses the creation of a community safety zone to protect the LGBTQI+ community. This zone prohibits any acts of homophobia, transphobia, intimidation, offensive remarks, protest disturbance, and distribution of hate propaganda within 100 meters of the property. Violators may face a penalty of $25,000 if successfully prosecuted. The attorney general has the authority to establish this zone and enforce the regulations.

Protect trans kids. Protect kids.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is threatening to arrest ICE agents if they try to deport undocumented migrants. He emphasizes his commitment to protect the people of Chicago from what he sees as threats from the current administration. Johnson argues that targeting undocumented individuals undermines public accommodations and poses a risk to civility and democracy. He asserts that these individuals are part of the community and vows to take action to safeguard them.

The Kentucky legislature overruled the governor's veto on aspects of trans youth care and bathroom use. The White House supports peaceful protests against these bills, which they find shameful and unacceptable. They condemn the attack on trans kids and parents. Tomorrow is trans visibility day, a day to uplift trans youth, but instead, more hateful bills are being passed. Republicans are prioritizing these bills instead of addressing issues like lowering costs and improving lives. The White House stands with the trans community and promises to continue fighting for their rights.
