Protect Trans Texans' Safety and Dignity - PASSED SENATE (UPDATED 8/7)
Updates
August 7, 2025: The Senate has passed SB 7. This bill now moves to the House, so keep pressuring your Representatives to oppose this and other anti-trans bills.
August 6, 2025: If just two senators stay off the Senate floor today, the Texas legislature will lack the quorum for final floor vote on SB7, which has already passed out of committee.
Trans rights in Texas are under attack. The Texas legislature is currently in a special session to pass bills allegedly focused on flood relief. Rather than immediately pass bills to support victims of the July 4 floods, the legislature is prioritizing anti-trans “bathroom” bills.
Texas’s legislature filed more anti-trans bills in this year’s regular session than any other state government, but more than 90% of them did not pass. Now Texas Republicans are pushing SB 7 and HB 32, both of which would penalize facilities that allow trans people to use bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity. The bills would also prevent trans women from accessing domestic violence shelters and force trans incarcerated people into jails and prisons that do not match their gender identity, exposing an already threatened group to more violence.
The legislature needs to stop using trans people as a bargaining chip and focus on flood relief. Demand that your state senators and representatives oppose SB 7, HB 32, and any other other bills targeting trans people and bodily autonomy. Learn more from the Transgender Education Network of Texas.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to ask that [REP/SEN NAME] oppose SB 7, HB 32, and any other bills targeting transgender people and their bodily autonomy. Texas needs flood relief, not attacks on a small minority for a nonexistent problem.
[IF YOUR SENATOR IS ZAFFIRINI OR CHUY HINOJOSA] I also urge [REP/SEN NAME] to stay off the Senate floor today to block passage of SB 7.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
