"MGLPC [the Massachusetts Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus] is fighting to restore LGBT-specific language and funding for the most vulnerable in our community - our youth, elders, and victims of domestic violence. And we need your help.
The just-released House Ways & Means budget makes drastic cuts in budget areas which include support for the LGBT community, and it eliminated all earmarks, making it impossible to know what level of funding LGBT programs will receive.
Representatives Alice Wolf, Liz Malia and Carl Sciortino have filed important amendments to restore the earmarks and specific funding amounts for critical LGBT Community programs. MGLPC is strongly advocating for four budget amendments to earmark LGBT programs and you can help.
We need you to email your Representative and ask her/him to co-sponsor these amendments. Our email is already set up with the details - it's fast and easy." Click HERE for the form.
