On May 1, 2024, a coalition of 53 organizations, representing 805,645 members, sent a letter to Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to express deep opposition to the final Title IX rules released Friday, April 19, 2024. The rules supplant “sex” with “gender identity.” In doing so, the guidance poses a grave threat to the safety and opportunities of women and girls and thwarts students’ First Amendment rights. The revisions also strip students of due process protections.

The full letter can be found here.
