Attention Massachusetts!
Tell legislators to ban size discrimination NEXT TUESDAY!
A message from Tigriss Osborn:
Next Tuesday, the Joint Judiciary Committee of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will consider testimony on Bill H.1705/S1108, “An Act to prohibit size discrimination.” If you live or work in MA, tell the committee that you support this bill!
The hearing is on Tuesday, December 5th from 1pm-5pm Eastern. It can be watched on the legislature’s livestream from all over the world.
There are three ways you can testify:
In person at the Statehouse in Boston (register in advance or register there on the day of testimony)
Virtually (advance registration required by Sunday, 12/3 at 5pm Eastern)
In writing (submit by email to [email protected])
We’ve put together a special MA Info Page for the Campaign for Size Freedom, including links to sign up to testify and sample written testimony. If you plan to testify, please complete the quick form on that page so we can send you reminders and other information.
Size Freedom legislation makes better communities for people of all sizes, and it is essential for fat people, who remain unprotected by most civil rights laws. It is even more urgent when anti-fatness is compounded by other forms of discrimination. Please share this message with your networks to help us activate as many people in MA as possible!
