As anticipated, the new Trump administration has issued a series of harmful and sweeping executive actions—including those targeting the LGBTQIA+ community.
This is a rapidly moving landscape. The information and guidance in this document represent our best understanding as of January 27, 2025. Please follow our website and social media for the most up-to-date guidance documents.
We know that many in our community are scared and uncertain about what impacts these actions will have. We encourage folks to look to trusted resources to navigate this shifting landscape and seek community space and support as needed.
Our most effective tools and organizing power are here in Virginia—but we will work to coordinate with partners across our state and nation to share this work and support our communities.
We’ll get through this together.
As we move through the coming weeks, be sure to take time to process your feelings, to seek support, and to offer it to others when you are able.
Equality Virginia and ACLU of Virginia stand with all the communities impacted by this order, and we stand ready for the work ahead. We are not going anywhere.
We’ve got this. We’ve got us.
