MassEquality

MassEquality is the statewide grassroots advocacy organization working to ensure that everyone across Massachusetts can thrive each and every day without discrimination and oppression based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Since transitioning in 2007 from a single-issue coalition focused on marriage equality to a multi-issue advocacy organization working to ensure that LGBTQ people are safe and free to live open and authentic lives, MassEquality has achieved numerous legislative and electoral victories.

At this critical juncture in the organizational life cycle, the boards of MassEquality have decided to narrow its focus to align with articulated community needs and available resources. In the coming months, MassEquality will launch a new initiative aimed at addressing needs of specific geographic and/or cultural communities outside the immediate Boston area. Through a mix of community organizing and local advocacy, our goal is to empower and engage LGBTQ citizens and allies to effect change in their home communities. We plan to focus on our electoral program in priority communities while curtailing our statehouse lobbying efforts. 

MassEquality's offices are currently located in downtown Boston, just a short distance from the State House.
