The The Campaign for Size Freedom is excited to support Massachusetts bill H.1705/S.1108 - An Act Prohibiting Body Size Discrimination, sponsored by Senator Rausch (@beccarausch4ma) and Representative Tram Nguyen (@team.tram). The bill is being heard in the Joint Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, December 5 at 1pm Eastern. Public testimony on the bill is welcomed by the Commonwealth, and we’ll be there!
If you live or work in MA, your opinion matters! You can testify in person, virtually, or in writing. Join the Campaign for Size Freedom and Bigger Bodies Boston on Monday, December 4, 2023 at 6:30pm in Boston as we gather for pizza, prep, and poster making. We’ll work together to make everyone’s testimony the strongest it can be and to make sure we are collectively representing the many aspects of size discrimination fat people face, and enjoy #fatjoy and #fatcommunity in preparation for the next day’s testimony!
