I won't be silent about this attack on transgender Americans. JENNIFER WEXTON.

David, Back in May, I called on Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson to resign -- and today I renew that call. First, he lied to me and to the American people during congressional testimony about his department’s commitment to protecting the rights of transgender Americans. As a former prosecutor, I take lies seriously. Now, he's made ignorant and bigoted comments about transgender women -- perpetuating nasty falsehoods about their identities. We need a HUD secretary who respects the dignity and safety of everyone, regardless of gender or sexuality. Please join me in demanding Ben Carson's resignation -- we're hoping to get 10,000 signatures to keep the pressure on. ADD YOUR NAME ➞ Carson's remarks -- effectively accusing transgender women of sexual assault -- are cruel, untrue, and dangerous. Transgender women are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators, and it's because of hateful words like this. Carson's comments reflect his dismissive attitude towards LGBTQ rights. He's rolled back the Obama-era “equal-access” rule that protected transgender Americans in HUD programs (including homeless shelters) from discrimination. Now, federally funded shelters can deny transgender people access. Carson is using disgusting language about transgender people to try to justify his discriminatory policies. That is unacceptable, and we need accountability. Let’s demand better by getting 10,000 signatures for Ben Carson’s resignation. Please add your name now! Thank you, Jennifer
