ROAR
ROAR is our grassroots volunteer crew, built on showing up for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC organizing, people and events. With rainbow umbrellas, bubbles and a whole lot of joy, we help keep queer and trans spaces safe, welcoming and focused on the community that came together.
Health Care Advocacy
This work is currently focused on Baystate Medical Center, advocating for trans and non-binary youth by exposing the injustice of Baystate’s decision to end gender-affirming care for youth, and moving the community and other systems of accountability to act to put pressure on Baystate to reinstate care.
