The 2nd Massachusetts Trans Faith Action Week starts Monday April 8th!
The focus is supporting the Trans Equal Access Bill filed in January.
1) Choose one or more actions.
2) Decide whether your community can be publicly listed as a participant (optional – if not, you are still welcome).
3) Email InterfaithCoalition@gmail.com to sign your community up for the Week.
ACTIONS:
a) Postcard party (we send you pre-printed postcards, you sign and return, we deliver to your legislators)
b) Phone bank (call your legislators; letters and emails are also helpful). One way to do this is through MassEquality -- AndiWheeler@MassEquality.org or 617.878.2307.
c) Trans-themed event (service, coffee hour, oneg, speaker, training, “I AM : Trans People Speak” video showing (http://www.transpeoplespeak.org/), etc.)
d) Commit to attend the bill’s Lobby Day and/or hearing (still being scheduled)
e) Submit public accommodations discrimination stories (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LYBY2X8) to MTPC and all kinds of stories to our “I AM” project.
f) Sign the Declaration of Interfaith Support for the bill (new version coming soon).
g) Create a faith-based version of MTPC’s “I ♥ Trans People” graphic (http://www.masstpc.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/MTPC-I-heart-small2.gif) -- “I/We {cross} Trans People”, “I/We {pentacle} Trans People”, etc.
g) Another idea? Let us know!
