As the Wyoming legislature wraps up the 2023 session, the ACLU of Wyoming is urging Gov. Mark Gordon to veto three bills.
“We send people to Cheyenne to solve actual problems in our state, not to find ways to spread discriminatory rhetoric about trans youth or to insert themselves into private medical decisions like abortion,” said Antonio Serrano, ACLU of Wyoming advocacy director. “Decisions made during the annual sessions of the Wyoming Legislature have a deep and lasting impact on our state’s people and communities. The harmful impact Senate File 109, Senate File 133 and House Bill 152 will have on our state will be long lasting and devastating. Is this what we really want for Wyoming? Gov. Gordon needs to veto these bills.”
The ACLU of Wyoming’s letters to Gov. Gordon are below.
About the ACLU of Wyoming
The American Civil Liberties Union of Wyoming is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU of Wyoming is part of a three-state chapter that also includes North Dakota and South Dakota. The team in Wyoming is supported by staff in those states.
The ACLU believes freedoms of press, speech, assembly, and religion, and the rights to due process, equal protection and privacy, are fundamental to a free people. In addition, the ACLU seeks to advance constitutional protections for groups traditionally denied their rights, including people of color, women, and the LGBTQ communities. The ACLU of Wyoming carries out its work through selective litigation, lobbying at the state and local level, and through public education and awareness of what the Bill of Rights means for the people of Wyoming.
