Vermont recently secured $92.7M from Meta, the largest settlement with a single company in the state’s history. The settlement exists because harm was done to Vermont’s young people.

A new federal rule has been announced restricting the use of Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funds for gender-affirming care for transgender young people. We want trans youth to know: we have your backs.
