Across Anchorage, communities of color and leading civil rights organizations are speaking out forcefully against Proposition 1, which would repeal the portions of our municipal code protecting our transgender neighbors, family and friends from discrimination.
Prop 1 may be referred to as a “bathroom bill” – but we know it’s not really about bathrooms, just as it was never really about bathrooms or schools or buses when it came to racial segregation. It’s about singling out people who are different, making sure they know they are not valued or trusted. As people who have too often been on the receiving end of that fear and hate, we will not be party to inflicting it on our fellow Alaskans.
We pledge to fight discrimination in Anchorage. We pledge to vote no on Prop. 1.
