SUMMARY:LDCC Freedom For All Presentation
DESCRIPTION:LDCC Freedom For All Presentation \nThursday\, May 31st\, 7:00-8:30pm\, Pollard Memorial Library\, 401 Merrimack Street\, Lowell \nField Organizer Zachary Stinchfield will speak on the proposed ballot referendum which would have the effect of rolling back rights of our transgender fellow Bay Staters. This group is organizing and working hard to make sure that Massachusetts does not pass a ballot initiative this November that would specifically deny the civil rights of a specific group of people\, in this case transgender people. Once one group of people are legally denied equal rights and protections under the law\, it becomes easier to move on to another group. \nMore information: https://www.facebook.com/events/592376707799681/
