🔊 LGBT Tech stands for a free and open internet.
That’s why we joined an amicus brief challenging Texas’s HB 18, an unconstitutional law that forces ID checks, chills expression, and cuts off vulnerable communities from support.
Read why we’re fighting back: www.lgbttech.org/post/lgbt-te...
In filing this amicus brief, LGBT Tech was joined by @TheTrevorProject, @PFLAG Inc., @FightfortheFuture, @HackingtheWorkforce, and @BayAreaLawyers for Individual Freedom.
