BOSTON: The LGBTQ+ community is under attack, from book bans, to targeting gender affirming care + ending the suicide prevention hotline for trans youth. That's why we're building a coalition of Massachusetts-based organizations that advocate for the rights + safety of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Senator’s Elizabeth Warren + Ed Markey have shown support for KOSA, a dangerous, censorship bill.
