The front page of this morning’s Boston Globe featured an article on the campaign to repeal the 2016 transgender bathroom law. Our friends at KeepMASafe are working hard to protect women and children in private spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms and to educate MA families on the dangers of the recently passed bathroom law. This November, we’ll all have the opportunity to be a voice for safety and privacy at the voting booth, and your vote could be the difference! Even the Globe admitted that the fight for privacy and safety in Massachusetts will be close at the ballot. The reporter writes:
A November ballot question asking voters whether to keep or repeal the state’s 2016 antidiscrimination law is expected to be the first statewide referendum on transgender rights, taking the national temperature on a fiery hot social issue.
If bluer-than-blue Massachusetts votes to repeal transgender rights, said Andrew Beckwith, one of those pushing for repeal, “it will send a real message to the rest of the country that this is just too much. It’s pushed beyond what common sense will allow.”
His ideological opponent is likewise aware of the stakes.
With the help of advocates and supporters like you, more Massachusetts citizens can learn about the 
dangers of the Bathroom Law and vote to protect women and children in our Commonwealth. We need your voice to win the vote! You can support the KeepMASafe campaign here.
