Everyone deserves to have a place to call home. But with Ben Carson in charge? Our marginalized communities will continue to struggle to keep a roof over their heads. We are in an affordable housing crisis and this administration is providing no solutions. #OurHomesOurVoices
Just one day after telling the House that he had no plans in regards to transgender protections, HUD issued a rule allowing shelters to deny people admission on religious grounds or force transgender women to share bathrooms and sleeping quarters with men. #WontBeErased
Carson's own team sought to TRIPLE the min. rent paid by families receiving housing assistance, making it easier for authorities to impose stricter work requirements on those receiving benefits. Who's most affected? Single mothers. It would put nearly 1 million children at risk.
BREAKING: The Trump administration just announced its plan to deny transgender people experiencing homelessness equal access to shelters. #SheltersSaveLives #WontBeErased reginfo.gov/public/do/eAge…
The proposal centers on the Equal Access Rule, which ensures shelters & programs don't discriminate against LGBTQ people. HUD Secretary Ben Carson plans to weaken those protections for transgender people seeking access to HUD programs. #SheltersSaveLives #WontBeErased
Sec. Carson told a House committee yesterday that he had no plans to revise this rule, stating “I’m not going to say what we will do in the future about anything. I’m not currently anticipating changing the rule.”
In short, he lied. This had to be in the works for a long time.

THREAD: Buckle up, folks. We're here, livestreaming today's #SOTU, ready to set the record straight & stand up for trans people.
Before the speech kicks off: We expect the President to use this platform to spread lies & try to justify his attacks on marginalized groups. Want to know the *REAL* #SOTU? Check out our State of the Trans Union 2019: medium.com/transequalityn…
Tonight, we're honored & proud to say that @MaraKeisling is the guest of @RepDebHaaland, a great ally & friend to the transgender community:
The existence of transgender people is not up for debate. Yet the Trump administration has apparently redoubled its efforts to exclude transgender Americans from the protection of federal civil rights laws. splcenter.org/news/2018/10/2…
This administration — based on news reports over the weekend in @nytimes — seems to think it can write transgender people out of existence by issuing regulations declaring that sex is determined at birth and cannot be changed.
But we are watching closely. We are paying attention to the admin's connections to outside groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom, a hate group that seeks to undermine the rights + the dignity of transgender people and push them back into the shadows. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
@realDonaldTrump needs a lesson in treating people with dignity and respect. The vicious and ignorant memo from the Trump administration regarding trans identity blatantly dehumanizes and attempts to erase over 1.4 million Americans. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
@realDonaldTrump When elected to Congress, I will take the fight against transphobia directly to the steps of the White House because under no circumstance should our President be in the business of stripping people of their identity.
@realDonaldTrump Trans and non binary New Mexicans, and all trans and non binary Americans, are not alone. The community is behind you, you #WontBeErased. I will be by your side in this fight until you have full equality, respect and the ability to feel safe in this country.
