Tennesse sued by the Human Rights Campaign for “Bathroom Bill”
- The federal lawsuit filed by the Human Rights Campaign challenges the state’s “bathroom bill,” a measure that restricts school bathroom use by transgender people
- The law will specifically ban transgender students or employees from using multi-person bathrooms or locker rooms not for their gender
Infrastructure bill leaves out key steps to promoting “climate resilience”
- Under the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, more than $150 billion will go towards boosting clean energy and promoting “climate resilience”
- The package will do this by making schools, ports, and other structures better able to withstand extreme weather events like wildfires and storms
- The bill still does not meet President Joe Biden’s claim to transform the country’s fossil-fuel reliant economy into a clean-energy one by 2035
