Equality Federation won’t stop until all LGBTQ+ people are fully empowered and represented in their communities, experiencing full equality in their lives.
State-based organizations across the country are making change in the communities we call home -- where the work is hard, but the impact is great.

It is an exciting week for the team at the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC) as they welcome their new Executive Director, Mason Dunn. We were able to catch up with Mason to learn more about his experience and his hopes for his new position at MTPC.
