The last few years in America have seen a record number of bills that attack LGBTQIA+ rights, and now the attack from Trump is targeting transgender military members.
According to USA Today, "The Supreme Court has ruled against transgender people serving in the military, legitimizing President Donald Trump's discriminatory agenda.
On May 6, the nation's highest court decided to allow Trump’s trans military ban to take effect after a lower court had halted its enforcement. Because the decision was part of the “shadow docket” ‒ emergency appeals decided without full briefing or oral argument, and without any written opinion ‒ we don’t know why the justices ruled this way or how the vote was divided, although the three liberal judges on the court say they would have rejected the request that the case be heard."

COMMUNITY NORMS
Please read before attending one of our events.
One of our main objectives is to host PEACEFUL, RESPECTFUL and SAFE EVENTS. Remember, when attending a Williamsburg JCC Indivisible event, your actions represent our group, and you are expected to conform to the Community Norms. Safety is a top priority for our attendees. We wish to remind everyone that we do not react to those drivers who make it clear they do not support us by aggravating them through screaming obscenities or making certain hand gestures. We do not want to enrage them and potentially make everyone, including other drivers, less safe. It is easier to wave at everyone and say, “Have a nice day”.
Please do not engage in DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOURS!
If you are asked to stop engaging in activities which are disrupting an event to the point people are complaining to the hosts that they are experiencing physical or emotional trauma, it is expected that you will be respectful of others and follow our Community Norms and stop those behaviours. Loud noises, such as, but not limited to, cowbells, horns, etc., are usually deployed by counter-protesters to disrupt an event, not by attendees participating in an event. If you refuse to disengage from such thoughtless behaviours, do not ruin the event for everyone else - please be kind and leave!
As with our previous events, the same rules apply. We will not engage with counter-protesters. If an issue arises, please notify one of the event organizers, who will be wearing Williamsburg JCC Indivisible T-shirts and an Indivisible Cap or Tricorn Hat. We will not engage in any acts of violence or violation of any applicable laws or engage in civil disobedience. All actions will be peaceful. Everyone participating in this event will be required to behave lawfully to ensure the safety of event participants and will seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. We will obey the orders of authorized event marshals and law enforcement authorities. Event organizers will not be responsible for any injury or damage if any were to occur during this event. Each individual is responsible for the consequences of their actions and attends at their own risk. We will park in the Courthouse parking lot without blocking access lanes and will remove any trash that is left. We are committed to maintaining public health measures to practice safe protesting during these times. Please wear a mask and socially distance if that makes you more comfortable - weigh your own risk in attending. Follow all local safety guidelines at minimum, and any safety instructions from hosts that exceed local law.
