In 2018, Massachusetts will vote for fairness. A broad coalition is joining together to defeat a dangerous initiative on the statewide ballot in Massachusetts in November 2018 that would repeal our state's non-discrimination law ensuring fair and equal treatment for our transgender neighbors, family and friends. Faith leaders, public safety officials, major employers, top educational institutions, key labor unions and more are standing together to affirm: Discrimination has no place in Massachusetts!

Pledge to Protect Full Transgender Equality in Massachusetts I stand with the majority of Bay Staters who support explicitly protecting transgender people from discrimination in public spaces like restaurants, hotels and hospitals. Discrimination has no place in Massachusetts and I commit to ensuring transgender people are treated fairly and equally under the laws of our Commonwealth.

83% of MA's 12 leading Fortune 500 companies have non-discrimination policies in place that explicitly cover gender identity.
65% of transgender people in Massachusetts report experiencing discrimination in an area of public accommodation.
18 states across the nation including Massachusetts have passed non-discrimination laws protecting transgender people in public spaces.

In 2016, Massachusetts passed non-discrimination protections for our transgender friends, family and neighbors in public spaces—any place we are when not at home, work or school. This includes, but is not limited to:

Retail Stores and Malls
Restaurants
Hotels
Medical Offices
Public Parks
Theatres
Public Transportation

The people of Massachusetts support equal protections under the law for our transgender neighbors, family and friends.
