We, the undersigned residents of Georgia, demand that Attorney General Chris Carr immediately withdraw Georgia from the Texas v. Becerra lawsuit.

Despite Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr’s claim that the Texas v. Becerra lawsuit would not render Section 504 unconstitutional, the complaint explicitly asks the court to “declare Section 504, 29 U.S.C. § 794, unconstitutional,”  directly contradicting Carr’s assertion. 

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act protects disabled people from discrimination in federally funded programs, ensuring equal access to education, healthcare, and accommodations. It also safeguards the rights of pregnant individuals. Yet, Chris Carr has joined Texas v. Becerra, a lawsuit that seeks to weaken these protections under the pretense of targeting trans people. If successful, this case could strip essential rights from disabled Georgians, pregnant individuals, and other vulnerable communities.

This is a deliberate political attack. We are seeing a wave of trans hate across the U.S., and Chris Carr is seeking to capitalize on that hatred—without hesitation, he is willing to throw the disabled community under the bus to do it. Disability and trans rights are not in conflict—this lawsuit is an attempt to erode civil rights under the guise of legal debate. Chris Carr is wasting taxpayer dollars to undermine the freedoms of the very people he was elected to serve.

Key Reasons to Withdraw:
 • Endangers Disability Rights: This lawsuit threatens Section 504 protections, potentially undermining the critical accommodations disabled Georgians rely on. Rolling back these rights would put millions at risk.

 • Attacks Transgender Rights: Texas v. Becerra specifically targets the inclusion of gender dysphoria as a recognized disability, setting a dangerous precedent that could weaken protections for all marginalized groups.

 • Threatens Pregnant People’s Healthcare: This lawsuit aligns with a broader agenda to restrict reproductive healthcare, endangering pregnant individuals’ rights and access to care.

 • Wastes Taxpayer Funds: Georgia’s participation diverts public money into an ideological attack rather than addressing real issues affecting residents.

Our Demand:

Attorney General Chris Carr must immediately withdraw Georgia from Texas v. Becerra. Our state leaders should protect the rights and welfare of all Georgians—including people with disabilities, transgender individuals, and pregnant people—not sacrifice them for political gain. Withdrawing from this lawsuit is necessary to uphold our civil rights and Georgia’s values.
