The MA Chapter enjoys a strong reputation of supporting
legislation that promotes social and economic justice issues. One of
these bills has to do with lifting
discrimination against transgender people. We share the following
position with our colleagues at the Freedom Massachusetts Coalition:
"In Massachusetts, no one should have to live in
fear of discrimination based on their identity – that’s a simple idea that we
can all support. Sadly, under current state law, there are no explicit
protections against discrimination for transgender people in most public places
like parks, hotels and restaurants."
That’s
wrong, which is why NASW-MA is
proud to be one of the many organizations that have joined the coalition
working to update our state’s non-discrimination law to fully protect ALL
people from discrimination.
On
Thursday, September 17th, please
join Freedom Massachusetts and other coalition partners at an important State
House Lobby Day!
