⚖️ You can help drive actual change in South Carolina. AFFA Action is collecting real experiences from LGBTQ+ people across SC to expose harm, build momentum, and push back on dangerous policies. From schools and workplaces to healthcare, public spaces, and even (or especially) bathroom access; if you’ve dealt with it, we want to hear about it. 🎙️ Share your story. Help drive change. Learn more at the link in bio.

Though sine die was technically today, Governor McMaster has called for a special session beginning tomorrow — the first special session in South Carolina since 2023. For months, we’ve been at the Statehouse testifying, meeting with Representatives and Senators, and amplifying the concerns of our community. And our work is not stopping here. We’ll continue showing up, fighting to represent our community, and reporting back on what we learn in this next chapter of the legislative session. We’re also preparing a full recap of this session: the wins, the fights, and what comes next. Stay tuned.

Testimony from our ED @ash_peele at yesterday’s subcommittee hearing on H.4302– a bill that once again compromises the safety of trans youth.

AFFA Action believes representatives should actually represent the people in their district—and that starts with treating them with basic respect. We deserve better leadership.

URGENT: We needs all hands on deck to contact Governor McMaster and tell him to VETO H.4756, the anti-trans bathroom bill. Call his office at (803) 734-2100 and use the script in this post, or use our ready-to-send Action Network link in our bio to send an email to his office. Let's make sure he knows that South Carolinians do NOT support this bill!

H.4756 is headed to Governor McMaster’s desk. Call him and tell him to veto this bill at 803–734–2100. You can also email him at [email protected] We know it’s scary to make a phone call, especially for legislation like this, but we have to do this now. We’d also like to remind you every seat in the SC House of Representatives is up for election this year. In November, you will have the chance to use your voice and elect those who voted for this harmful legislation out of office. Use your voice. Help us continue to fight this bill and advocate for ALL South Carolinians.

We need all hands on deck! Please share with all your people and tag local accounts in the comments. This rally and these bills are NOT getting enough attention. Meet us at the statehouse from 8:30am-12:30pm tomorrow, Tuesday April 14th!
