Attacks on Title X Hurt Young People

Title X providers, including many Planned Parenthood affiliates, play a critical role in ensuring young people and low-income communities have access to medical treatment and preventive care. Eliminating these services is cruel, dangerous, and will disproportionately impact young people of color who already face higher barriers to health care.

Trump’s Campaign Against Young People Continues

With this attempt to gut the Department of Education by laying off its workforce, the Trump Administration furthers its campaign against educators and young people nationwide. 
The U.S. Department of Education exists for a reason: to build toward a future where every student, in every state, has full access to an education that allows them to thrive. That future is not attainable without classroom materials that include diverse perspectives and acknowledge the role race and gender play in shaping identity, society, and health outcomes. Every young person should feel represented in the classroom. 

Advocates for Youth condemns Iowa’s Civil Rights Removal Act

“This new law sets an awful precedent. Other states that are hostile to transgender people will likely follow suit. This law also hurts people who are not transgender if they don’t fit into Iowa’s new definition of sex. Nondiscrimination protections keep everyone safe – this is a shameful move.

Advocates for Youth will never stop fighting for transgender young people’s right to thrive – and against cruel attempts to play politics with their lives, their futures, and their safety. Transgender youth will always be here. We must work harder than ever to build a world that meets their needs and celebrates their power.”
