Just found this.

Anti-trans policies harm transgender people, undermine women’s rights, restrict public life and work, and threaten broader civil rights for everyone.

What does it actually look like to stay engaged during a legislative session? Let's talk about it →

# 1: Join us for Speak Out NE: Midway. It is a free virtual event on March 4th where we'll break down where key bills stand, what to expect in the second half of the 2026 session, and practical ways to show up for LGBTQIA+ Nebraskans.

# 2: Tell someone who needs to know. Do you have a friend, family member, coworker, or someone who wants to stay informed but doesn't know where to start? Send them this post. Strength in numbers.

# 3: Keep showing up. Speak Out NE: Midway is part of a three-event series designed to meet you at key moments during the 2026 legislative session. BUT, missing one doesn't mean you're out. Jump in wherever you are.

So, RSVP and show up.

No experience required. You can even wear your pj's if you want to!
→ The most important part is that you show up.

📆 March 4th | 6:30 – 8:00 PM CT | Virtual Event

Says it all.

Says it all.

ICYMI: Three anti-trans bills had public hearings at the Capitol last month.

Each of these bills targets transgender and nonbinary Nebraskans and puts the safety, dignity, and freedom of our friends and neighbors at risk.

We can't sit this one out.

Legislative sessions move quickly, and effective advocacy takes real-time response and sustained resources.

By giving to OutNebraska today, you're enabling us to keep Nebraskans informed, mobilize our communities, and take action against harmful policies.

Every dollar strengthens our ability to push back, uplift community voices, and demand better from our elected officials.

Donate now to help protect transgender and nonbinary Nebraskans → https://bit.ly/donate-to-outnebraska

We're also tracking several other bills as allies in solidarity with many members of our community. The decisions being made today will shape lives for years to come.

Standing together matters now more than ever.
