We had a very successful advocacy day at the Massachusetts State House on March 10, 2020! Advocates joined STRIPED, Senator Rausch, Representative Nguyen, MEDA, NEDA, My Power People, Harvard Catalyst, University of Leeds, and Be Real USA for a powerful day as we educated Massachusetts lawmakers from across the state about the importance of fighting weight and height discrimination in MA. We advocated in support of Massachusetts S.1012/H.3413, legislation that would make discrimination on the basis of height and weight unlawful in Massachusetts. Check out the news coverage below on this important bill.
