After Trump’s win last night, LGBTQ+ ally and California Attorney General Rob Bonta has said that his office is already preparing legal challenges to Trump’s planned agenda, including his attacks on transgender kids.
“The best way to protect California, its values, the rights of our people, is to be prepared, so we won’t be flat-footed,” Bonta told the nonprofit news outlet Cal Matters.
Bunta said his office has “preemptively written briefs and tested arguments to challenge many of the policies they expect the former president to pursue over the next four years,” including “attacking civil rights for transgender youth,” abortion protections, gun control laws, and environmental protections.
Numerous other progressive activists and politicians online have stressed the importance of organizing to oppose Trump’s coming presidency.
