There’s a new safe haven for those who identify as transgender in the Bay State, after Worcester officially became a sanctuary city for that community during a lengthy city council meeting on Tuesday night. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news…

Trump's directive to pause federal aid is a reckless abuse of power. Massachusetts residents rely on billions of dollars in federal funds daily for their health and child care, food and the roads we drive on. This will hurt families. We're exploring prompt action to stop it.

The Affordable Homes Act is the biggest housing investment Massachusetts has ever seen — and it’s a BFD that @MassGovernor just signed it into law. Thanks to our @MA_EOHLC team and the legislators, advocates and community members who made it happen!
Massachusetts is the best place to live, work, raise a family and start a business. But when you can’t pay rent or buy a house, everything else seems out of reach.  Today, I signed the Affordable Homes Act — our plan to make our state a place everyone can afford to call home.

It was an honor to be joined by so many leaders at today's LGBTQ+ Community Convening in honor of Transgender Day of Visibility. Your work is essential in the fight for access to gender-affirming care and protections for the Transgender and Nonbinary community.

With only three members left, another @Moms4Liberty “chapter” collapses. This political operation cooked up in a right-wing think-tank is backfiring. Their cruelty and bigotry has unleashed a real movement by parents to repair the damage to their kids schools.

Families can be made in different kinds of ways – our state’s parentage laws should reflect that.
 It's long past time we pass legislation to ensure equal access to parentage protections for LGBTQ+ families.   bostonglobe.com/2024/01/31/m…
