Sample Script for Calls, Emails, and/or Social Media Posts

Dear Representative __________,

As someone who supports victims and survivors of domestic violence, I ask you to vote NO on SB 120 / AB 103.

Rigid approaches to gender are rooted in the same dynamics that contribute to abuse. Limiting how people should look, behave, or identify related to their gender creates conditions where power imbalances are made the norm.

At its core, domestic violence is about power and control. This includes restricting another person’s choices, punishing non-conformity, and enforcing rigid expectations. SB 120 and AB 103 mirror these same dynamics at school. They strip autonomy from young people and grant school boards authority over students’ lives in ways that undermine dignity, safety, and self-determination.

For some youth, school is the only place they can exist openly without risking their physical or emotional safety. Creating inclusive and supportive educational environments cultivates empathy, respect, and accountability, and it challenges the belief that control or violence is ever acceptable in a relationship.

Policies that target trans individuals contribute to isolation and stigma, which are consistently identified in public health research as risk factors for depression, suicidality, and domestic violence. Please, vote NO on SB 120 / AB 103.

Thank you for your time and consideration. You can contact me for follow-up at [provide your phone number and/or email address, if you are open to receiving a response].
