๐ Pride Month Update ๐ Last month, in honor of Pride Month, we hosted a guest speaker,Adrienne Shilton (She/Her), Vice President of Public Policy and Strategy from our long-time partner, the California Alliance of Child & Family Services Child and Family Services. She presented on "Celebrating Pride: LGBTQ+ Focused Policy & Legislation." We have the good fortune to share that one of the bills she discussed, Assembly Bill 1955, has now reached Governor Newsom's desk. This bill aims to protect transgender students by prohibiting schools from requiring teachers to notify parents about changes to a student's gender identity, thus ensuring a safer and more supportive environment for LGBTQ+ youth. Read more about this important legislation here: California Lawmakers Send Student Gender Notification Bill to Newsom https://lnkd.in/gkN9mbhE Let's continue to support and celebrate our LGBTQ+ community! ๐ณ๏ธ๐ #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #LGBTQSupport #SupportTransYouth #LGBTQPolicy #LoveIsLove #AB1955 #CaliforniaLegislation #LGBTQCommunityย
