The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services will have a meeting on Friday, March 11th where they will accept in-person and written testimony from the public. 
 

The Governor's order and CPS investigations are on the agenda. Your testimony is important in underscoring the cruel reality that families are currently living in as a result of the Attorney General and the Governor's attack on healthcare for transgender youth. 

To protect transgender children and their families, who would like their voices heard but for their own safety cannot testify in-person, we are offering to coordinate volunteers who can read testimony on their behalf. If you are a transgender youth or a parent or guardian of a transgender youth, we invite you to share your testimony in the form below for a volunteer to read.

Please do not share any identifying personal details as this testimony will be read in public. Aim for between 250 and 500 words so it can fit within the testimony time limit of 2-3 minutes.

*Equality Texas will not share your name, location or any contact information with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, only the text of your story.
