Since 2021, Arkansans have grappled with anti-transgender laws that prohibit transgender-related healthcare for people under the age of 18 – and while the law (Act 626) is not in effect because of a court order, its passage has exacerbated the lack of access to providers of gender-affirming hormone therapy and puberty blockers for trans people under 18. Many providers are not accepting new patients while litigation moves through the courts.
As legal partners at the ACLU of Arkansas and the ACLU are leading litigation efforts to bring down this law once and for all, the Campaign for Southern Equality is working with partners across Arkansas, including inTransitive, to provide resources and information to impacted families. Please use this form below to request more information, and we will be in touch.
