A Statement from the People First Team

On the recent supreme court rulings

Last week’s Supreme Court decision to uphold bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth is devastating. It’s not just a legal ruling, it’s a message to young people across the country that their humanity is up for debate. At People First, we reject that message entirely.

We’ve watched as political leaders continue to harm some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. But we’ve also witnessed people respond with incredible courage and care. Parents, community organizers, and neighbors are speaking up and showing what it means to care for each other in the face of injustice.

We want to share a special thank you to our partners in this fight who have voiced their support for trans youth! Your willingness to show up and share your personal truths helps build the kind of compassion this moment demands.

Our youth deserve compassion, they deserve to be supported by our leaders, and they deserve access to life changing healthcare that affirms who they are.

People First remains committed to supporting our communities and to building a future grounded in dignity and shared humanity. We will continue to fight for a world where everyone can access the respect and care they deserve.
