Thank you @massgovernor for the time your team took to meet with @fightfortheftr and @masstpc today to discuss concerns with proposed social media legislation in the state and how we can work together with experts and impacted communities to protect ALL kids online while defending human rights for marginalized people. And thank you to the dozens of organizations and thousands of people who have been speaking out about this. You are making a difference.
Stay tuned for updates. We are going to keep building this movement. Online privacy and freedom of expression are not luxuries. They are life or death issues for many communities. We will not be silenced.

MTPC is proud to be a sponsor of Transhealth’s Freedom to Be Ourselves Annual Benefit on Saturday, May 16th at 7:30pm at the Academy of Music in Northampton, MA. Celebrate Transhealth's 5th anniversary! Support Transhealth’s mission of protecting and expanding access to gender-affirming care with an unforgettable evening that will illuminate the power of hope, the warmth of joy, and the courage required to live authentically.
Get tickets at tinyurl.com/FreedomToBeOurselves
There will be a powerful keynote, Transhealth's first ever Community Impact Awards (to be given to four amazing trans leaders from each of the four counties in Western Massachusetts), and the evening will end with a conversation with Mercury Stardust (she/they).
Mercury will be asked about her experience being invited into people’s homes and hearts as “The Trans Handy Ma’am” and as an educator, author, performance artist, fundraiser and advocate for trans rights and healthcare. She'll share where she finds joy in difficult times, how she uses creativity and craft as tools for health and wellness, why showing up for our communities is so important, and—as someone with an influential platform—what her advice is to anyone wanting to use their own voice to make a difference in the world.
Transhealth is happy to announce that they were able to give away 100 FREE tickets to their patients and to those who belong to the trans and gender-diverse community.
ACCESSIBILITY: Wheelchair accessible, ASL interpreting, mask optional. All are welcome, including kids!

We’re still glowing with pride and joy from this year’s Trans Youth Summit 💫
A huge thank you to every youth, parent/caregiver, staff member, volunteer, speaker, facilitator, and every organization who showed up and helped bring this incredible experience to life. We are filled with so much gratitude and appreciation.
We hope everyone who attended felt celebrated, learned something new, and is leaving just as inspired as we are! 🌈
We can’t wait for the next one and look forward to continuing to grow this amazing community together 💖
🏳️⚧️Thank you to our friends at Massachusetts Trans Political Coalition - @masstpc for collaborating with @pflag_cape_cod on Friday’s Name Change Clinic, and to the @unitarianchurchofbarnstable for the use of their space!🏳️⚧️
It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about or begin the name change process, and with pizza 🍕and activities on hand, it was a great way to wind down the week in true T.G.I.F. style (who doesn’t enjoy making beaded bracelets or working on a puzzle 🧩?)!!!🩵🤍🩷

☕ Hosted at @eclipselowell Eclipse Café (Lowell) — because hard things are easier with coffee
📄 Guidance + correct forms + real support
🌈 Community energy, not DMV energy
🗓 April 14
⏰ 5:30–7:30 PM
