NFA Joins Amicus Brief Protecting Girls’ Sports at the Supreme Court

Nebraska Family Alliance joined an amicus brief filed in the U.S. Supreme Court, defending legislation that protects girls’ sports, and we need your prayers as this important case progresses.

In the coming months, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Hecox v. Little and decide whether lawmakers can continue to protect women and girls by requiring that participation in teams or sports be designated by biological sex. 

Idaho enacted the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act in 2020 to ensure fair and safe competition in athletics. Shortly after its passage, the ACLU sued, and a lower court panel in the Ninth Circuit struck down the law. 

This case isn’t just about sports—it’s about fairness, safety, and truth itself. No girl should lose her opportunity to compete for championships and scholarships to a man.

Nebraska passed similar legislation just this year with the Stand With Women Act (LB 89), ensuring that all athletes can compete on a fair and safe playing field.

Nebraska Family Alliance partnered with more than 200 female state legislators and 38 family policy organizations across the country to file an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to uphold these common-sense laws, preserve Title IX protections, and affirm that female sports are for female athletes. 

Brittney Jones, President of the Kansas Family Voice and co-author of the amicus brief, joined the NFA Report Podcast this week to share insight on the case and discuss why protecting women’s sports is essential for fairness, opportunity, and the development of young girls nationwide.

A decision is expected next summer, and the Court’s ruling will have a profound impact on the future of women’s sports not only in Idaho and Nebraska but across America.

Thank you for standing with us to defend integrity and truth.
