Back.
Washington
Needs You.

In 2026, two ballot initiatives threaten Washington students with forced LGBTQ+ outings, invasive genital exams, and restricted access to help. Gender Justice League Action exists to stop them — and to build the long-term power needed to protect and expand rights for all.

2026 Priority Campaign

No Hate
in WA State

Two ballot initiatives targeting Washington students are on the 2026 ballot. IL26-001 would force schools to out LGBTQ+ students and restrict access to counselors. IL26-638 would mandate invasive genital exams for girls in school sports.

A coalition led by Gender Justice League, SEIU 775, ACLU-WA, WEA, and others is building the canvassing operation and civic infrastructure to defeat both. Every volunteer, every donor, every voice matters.
