Washington State · 2026
In 2026, a ballot initiative threatens to strip transgender residents of Washington State of civil rights protections they have held for nearly two decades. Gender Justice League Action exists to stop it — and to build the long-term power needed to protect and expand rights for all.
No Hate in WA State · 2026 Campaign
Well-funded opponents are trying to use the ballot box to erase protections enacted by the Washington State Legislature in 2006. We are building the coalition to defeat them.
We lobby directly in Olympia, testify before committees, and build the legislative relationships that translate community power into lasting law. Every session, our voices are in the room.
From deep canvassing operations to Trans Advocacy Day at the Capitol, we put community members in direct conversation with the people who make decisions about their lives.
We hold candidates accountable and endorse those who demonstrate real commitment to defending civil rights for all Washingtonians — regardless of gender identity or expression.
2026 Priority Campaign
A ballot initiative targeting Washington's transgender community is coming in 2026. It would eliminate anti-discrimination protections that have been law since 2006 — protections that allow transgender Washingtonians to exist safely in public spaces, access healthcare, and live with dignity.
We are building the coalition, the canvassing operation, and the civic infrastructure to defeat it. But we cannot do this alone. Every volunteer, every donor, every voice matters.
Washington has been a haven for our community for decades. We are not going to let that be taken away without a fight.Danielle Aubain — Executive Director & Founder, Gender Justice League · Chair, Gender Justice League Action
