Community Action Day

This State Legislative session ends at midnight, July 31.
MTPC and the Transgender Civil Rights Coalition will be urging legislators to pass H1728/S1687 "An Act Relative to Gender Based Discrimination and Hate Crimes" before the end of this session.

July 14th marks exactly one year since over 65 transgender adults, youth, families, allies, women's groups, civil rights advocates, and LGBT advocates testified before the Joint Committee on the Judiciary and over 100 pieces of written testimony were presented to the committee.

How To Act:

Tell leadership about your dissatisfaction with the lack of movement on this bill.

The legislature's leadership must hear from you. We need you to write a letter to the Senate President and Speaker of the House, insisting that they move forward on voting on this bill. Sample letters are provided below. We will be hand delivering these letters to House Speaker DeLeo and Senate President Murray after the press conference. Please or mail us your letter as soon as possible so we can print them out. Let's flood their offices with letters calling on them to pass this bill.

Send us our letter of support BY JULY 13
