Listen to this episode on

South Carolina lawmakers are fast-tracking a bill that would discriminate against transgender students by forcing them into restrooms according to their sex assigned at birth or, possibly, into porta-potties. H. 4756 is a dangerous and insulting bill that applies to K-12 schools and colleges alike. We have the chance to reduce the harm before it passes.

In this emergency episode, we are joined by Cristina Picozzi of the Harriet Hancock Center and SC United for Justice and Equality. If you have 5 minutes, please help us rein in the self-appointed bathroom police. Use this link and we'll connect you with your state House representative by phone: https://aclusc.org/call
