New York Attorney General Letitia James Leads Multi-State Coalition in Opposing Federal Passport Gender Policy Change

In a significant pushback against the U.S. Department of State's recent initiative, New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading the front alongside a 11-state coalition to oppose proposed changes that could negatively impact transgender and non-binary individuals seeking accurate passport identification.

According to a press release from the New York Attorney General's office, this coalition is making a stand for the dignity and freedom of gender-diverse individuals.
