We had a great time tabling at yesterday's "Roaring Twenties" party at Castle Hill-Crane Estate thanks to a gracious invite from The Trustees ! So many great conversations with friends old and new, including folks from both Tri-Town Human Rights Coalition and Newburyport Pride!

We were promoting our huge, and hugely important, fundraiser there, on September 12, and more than 75 people took away our information postcards---so don't wait to get your early-bird tickets to the Fall Masquerade Ball, because interest seems high!

Hey gang--we're wondering if people might be interested (and perhaps more likely to attend) the Fall Masquerade Ball if we arranged for some transport like a mini-van and/or (more likely) if y'all organized a volunteer car pool system?

Boarding/departure could be from somewhere in central Gloucester around, say, 6:30 pm, with one return trip boarding at the Estate at, say, 10:00 or 10:15?

Thoughts?

If you're interested in volunteering to help set up a car pool, please email [email protected].

Fantastic resource.

The Movement Advancement Project has created an interactive LGBTQ Equality Map that lets you explore how laws and policies affect LGBTQ+ people in every state. It’s one of the most comprehensive resources available for understanding where protections exist, where they’re being rolled back, and where work still needs to be done.

Whether you’re advocating for your child, considering a move, contacting lawmakers, or simply trying to stay informed, this is an incredibly valuable tool.

One of the things we appreciate most is that it moves beyond headlines. Instead of relying on social media posts or political talking points, you can look up the actual policies affecting LGBTQ+ people in your state.

The LGBTQ Equality Map covers nondiscrimination protections, healthcare, schools, identity documents, and more. Updates are made as laws change, making this a reliable resource.

This resource is extremely valuable because knowledge is powerful.

The more we understand what’s happening across the country, the better equipped we are to support LGBTQ+ people, advocate for equality, and help create safer, more welcoming communities.

Link for the map will be shared in the comments.
