Resolution
Affirming Support for the Transgender Community and Condemning Efforts to Undermine Trans Rights
WHEREAS the Riverside County Democratic Party stands firmly for the rights, dignity, and full inclusion of transgender and nonbinary individuals in all aspects of life including sports; and
WHEREAS transgender people continue to face discrimination, legislative attacks, and harmful rhetoric that seek to undermine their rights in areas such as sports, healthcare, education, public accommodations, and legal recognition; and
WHEREAS a growing number of elected officials, including some prominent members of the Democratic Party, have recently failed to fully support policies, particularly in the area of sports, that protect transgender rights, thereby contributing to ongoing harm and marginalization;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Riverside County Democratic Party strongly condemns all efforts—whether through rhetoric, policy, or inaction—that undermine the rights and dignity of transgender individuals as well as their gender designation itself; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Riverside County Democratic Party reaffirms its unwavering commitment to advancing transgender rights, holding all elected officials accountable for upholding these values, and advocating for policies that ensure full inclusion, equality, safety, and support for transgender and nonbinary people in Riverside County and beyond.
