📢 The Supreme Court of the United States will hear a pivotal legal challenge against a 2023 Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth. The Court granted certiorari to the U.S. government petition, which intervened in the case, LW. v. Skrmetti, brought by Lambda Legal, American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Tennessee, and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, on behalf of Tennessee families, and a medical provider. The case will be briefed this fall. We are grateful that transgender youth and their families in Tennessee will now have their day in the highest court, and we will not stop fighting to ensure access to this life-saving, medically necessary care. 🏳️⚧️ Read our official press release for more information at https://lnkd.in/eGTdqAqT #ProtectTransYouth #TransRights #Trans
