The Hands Across the Aisle Coalition (HATAC) is an organization founded in 2017 and operating primarily in the United States, known for its opposition to transgender rights.
[1][2][3][4] Since 2019, HATAC has worked with The Heritage Foundation, holding panel discussion events featuring Republican Party strategists, Christian evangelical advocates, and leaders of anti-trans feminist organizations such as the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF).
[2][3] Before founding HATAC, Haver was the communication director for Just Want Privacy, a campaign to repeal a law in Washington state that allows transgender people to use bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity.
[3] The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote: "With little transparency on its website about who and what formed the group, HATAC might simply be a secular-facing iteration of the same anti-LGBT agenda that has driven the Christian Right for decades.
In 2019, HUD proposed a new rule which would allow federally funded homeless shelters to force trans people to share facilities based on their assigned sex rather than their gender identity, or to deny them entrance altogether.
