Harmful Anti-Trans Bill H.4756 Is Moving. We Need You in the Room.

This Wednesday, January 14, a dangerous bill targeting transgender and gender-nonconforming students will be heard in the South Carolina House. This is a moment when your voice truly matters.

H.4756 is scheduled for a hearing in the Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Special Laws Subcommittee, which operates under House Judiciary.

Hearing Details

Wednesday, January 14

10:45 AM

Room 110, Blatt Building

What’s at stake:

H.4756 would force all public K-12 schools and public colleges and universities to impose rigid, invasive rules about restrooms, changing areas, and similar spaces based solely on sex assigned at birth. Schools that don’t comply could face serious financial penalties.

This would roll back existing inclusive policies, invite discrimination, and make schools less safe for everyone. It encourages stigma, fuels harassment, and polices how people are “supposed” to look and exist in public spaces.

Let’s be clear:

This bill protects no one and harms everyone.

It is not about safety or privacy. It is about control, conformity, and pushing people out of public life.

What you can do:

1. Show up at the hearing!

Our strongest tool is being in the room. When lawmakers look out and see who’s watching, it shapes what they believe... and how they'll vote.

2. Call your Representative

Tell them you oppose H.4756 and expect them to protect students, not target them. Not sure who your rep is? Check here.

3. Contact the Judiciary Committee

Let them know you won't stand for any attacks on our youth SC United's Action Network link.

4. Submit written testimony

You can email the subcommittee your comments before the hearing by emailing HJudAICyberSpecialLaws@schouse.gov

4. Watch online if you can’t attend in person

Last session, we filled rooms and showed legislators exactly how powerful our community is. Let’s do it again. Let’s remind them who they work for. Let's show them we belong in South Carolina.

In solidarity,
