If you don't play college sports, introduce yourself as an average citizen. Ask them, "What if your daughter were cut from the team because a man said he was a woman?"
YOU can make a difference this week by writing to the NCAA and by forwarding this email to ten other female athletes. Dear NCAA Athletes,
As Olympic hockey players, we took on USA Hockey in 2017 and demanded equal treatment for female players.
And we won!
Today, we're taking our fight for equality in women's sports to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
JUST SAY "NO"
TO MALES ON WOMEN'S
COLLEGE TEAMS
Currently, the NCAA allows males who identify as women to take roster spots on women's teams and compete in women's events. | | Will you join us in urging members of the NCAA Board of Governors to repeal their discriminatory policy?
The NCAA meets on Thursday, April 25. And it is critical that they hear from athletes like you before then. | | YOU can make a difference by writing to the NCAA and by forwarding this email to ten other female athletes.
Now is the time for us to stand together as female athletes and tell the NCAA that we will not accept male bodies on women's teams. | | We know how hard you worked to earn your place on a collegiate roster. Let's make sure the NCAA doesn't give roster spots like yours to male bodied athletes.
Sincerely,
Monique Lamoureux-Morando Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson
