David, today I called on HUD
Secretary Ben Carson to resign.
He lied to me and to the American people during Congressional testimony. He lied about his department’s commitment to protecting the rights of transgender Americans. I’m a former prosecutor, and I take lies seriously. Ben Carson is attacking our LGBTQ community and lying about it. Please join me in demanding his resignation.
On Tuesday, when Carson
appeared before the House Financial Services Committee, I asked him about
HUD’s “equal-access” rule -- which protects transgender Americans in HUD
programs (including homeless shelters) from discrimination.
I’ve seen what Donald Trump’s administration thinks of LGTBQ rights, and I was worried that HUD may gut the equal-access rule. But Ben Carson said: “I’m not currently anticipating changing the rule.” This was a lie. The very next day, his department proposed a new rule: to let federally funded shelters deny transgender people access. Ben Carson made a false statement before Congress because he didn’t want to answer for his administration’s discriminatory policies. The American people deserve better. Let’s show that we demand accountability by getting 10,000 signatures for Ben Carson’s resignation. Add your name now! Thank you, Jennifer
