Officials to Focus On
"I’m a constituent from [town], and I’m calling to ask Senator _____ to vote against HB 1986. [As a transgender person / As the loved one of a transgender person,] I don’t want to see Arkansas passing a law that makes it a crime for transgender people to simply use the restroom. We all saw what happened to North Carolina when they passed an unnecessary bathroom ban. It would hurt the reputation of our state and hurt all Arkansans.
SB 774
- A discriminatory bill that seeks to discriminate against transgender people by denying them the right to use restrooms and other facilities consistent with their gender identity in schools and government buildings. Read more.

Script:
As an Arkansas voter, I am asking you to vote no SB 774. I’m concerned these bills will allow state-sponsored discrimination against the transgender community which is one of the most threatened groups in the country. Arkansas must not become the next North Carolina by pursuing discriminatory legislation. Please act in the interest of everyone in this state and stop this bill once and for all.
SB 771/HB 888
- A discriminatory bill that seeks to deny transgender students access to restrooms and changing facilities consistent with their gender identity. Read more.
- The bill could be heard on Tuesday in the House and Wednesday in the Senate.
