@protectransfutures.bsky.social
Hold healthcare accountable. Protect trans youth. Protect trans futures. https://form.jotform.com/253155972481160
Chalk out went wonderfully! Hope to see y'all at the next one!!
HEY BOSTON TOMORROW SUN 8/2, 3pm 1 Ashburton Pl (near State House) Cis folks, I don’t know how else to say it: if our actions keep consisting only of us, we’re not going to make it. If you’re worried you won’t belong, don’t be. If you say you’re an ally to trans kids, it’s exactly where you belong.
We can't back down on human rights or bodily autonomy. Capitulation only emboldens authoritarians, abusers & bullies.
This happened today and it was really hard. I want to say two things. One, I have PDFs of both reports they took down & I'm trying to find a secure place for them to live online so they're not lost. Two, if you're in the Boston area, @protectransfutures.bsky.social has three upcoming actions...
Here's everything we've got coming up for the month of August, we'll see you there :)
Please sign and share our action letter, let Massachusetts's AGO know we won't quit until they enforce the law. A future for trans kids may depend on it! actionnetwork.org/letters/prot...
Here's our song "Protect Trans Kids" featuring @protectransfutures.bsky.social at NICE, A Fest. Go sign their open letter to defend gender affirming care in Massachusetts: actionnetwork.org/letters/prot...
Did you come to our phone zap on Friday? ICYMI, here are our upcoming events/gatherings for the month of August! Chalk Out For Trans Kids! (Sunday Aug 2nd, 3pm) Bring Trans Care To The State House! (Thurs Aug 13th, 2pm) Press Conference For Trans Care! (Monday August 24th, 3pm) Details in pics!
When healthcare providers closed doors to trans teens, the NY AGO made an order to restore care. The California AGO sued + families are winning anti-discrimination cases in Colorado. When Fenway and Baystate removed gender affirming care for their trans patients, our AGO published a legal advisory?
Join our next meeting! We’ll be planning upcoming actions, building strategy together, and more. We will not be silent while our rights are taken away. Everyone is welcome at our meeting, no previous organizing experience required!
Civil rights unenforced are civil rights DENIED. Tag @massago.bsky.social and @massgovernor.bsky.social to demand they take action and REINSTATE CARE.
PICKET PAS. PROTECT TRANS YOUTH. STAND UP FOR EVIDENCE-BASED SCIENCE.
A major pediatric conference is coming to Boston with a panel on trans youth healthcare led by affiliates of SEGM—a group listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-LGBTQ hate group. Panelists are contributors to Trumps transphobic HHS guidelines and advocate for conversion therapy. 1/?

Oh maybe you've heard...WE'RE HAVING AN ART BUILD ON THURSDAY! Join us Feb. 5, 5pm, next door to Ula Cafe to make sign for our upcoming March for Tans Futures. Limited supplies will be provided, so please bring your own if you can. Can't wait to see you there!
Join us this Saturday, 1/31!! We'll be talking a lot about our upcoming March For Trans Futures on 2/7. Learn how to get involved, volunteer, and join in on planning future actions.
We’re marching for trans futures on Feb. 7th, at 1 pm, at the Boston Commons. Our demand? Simple: a Trans Healthcare Shield. The federal government is intent on stripping trans people’s rights away. This is the time for our leaders to step up, for our politicians to move beyond promises.
March with us on February 7th at 1 PM, starting at the Boston Public Garden Bandstand. We need community members, loved ones, allies, neighbors, community organizations, and healthcare workers to show up and show our leaders what courage in the face of attack looks like. Our futures depend on it.

As attacks from our government on trans healthcare intensify, we're taking action to make sure our voices don't go cold. Join us to send a flurry of emails to the MA Attorney General's office demanding action on Fenway Health's pre-compliance, and submit public comments opposing these regulations.
We'll be planning upcoming actions, building strategy together, and making sure Fenway Health, and every other institution, knows that our community will never accept the choice to abandon our most vulnerable. Sunday, Jan. 18th 1:30-4:00 p.m. 284 Amory St, JP - right next door to Ula Cafe

A reminder that capitulation to the trump adminstration is unacceptable in our community. We hope that our signs serve as a potent reminder to Fenway Health that they are accountable to their patients and community, and that we will not accept abandonment as a policy
Come say hello! Swing by to share your story, drink some hot chocolate, meet your community members.
