I should have posted this yesterday, but it's not too late.
H 502/S764 "An Act Relative to Transgender Equal Rights" passed the House last night, so now it's time to write and call our state Senators and ask them to support this bill.
How to call your legislators:
* CONTACT lawmakers and let them know you support the bill. Even if you
have contacted them before do it one more time! Opponents of the bill have
been swamping lawmakers' inboxes.
What to say when you call:
"Hello, my name is______, and I am a constituent of
Representative/Senator______. I'm calling because I want him/her to vote in
support of H 502/S764 "An Act Relative to Transgender Equal Rights" and ask
leadership to bring this up for a vote before the end of the year. I'd like
to hear from my legislator about their stance on the bill and if they are
going to speak with leadership. When should I expect to hear back from you?"
How to email:

Draft email:
Hello, my name is______, and I am a constituent of yours and I live at
_______(address, city). I'm writing because I want you to support H 502/S764
"An Act Relative to Transgender Equal Rights" I'd like to hear from you
about your stance on this bill and if you are going vote in support of this
important legislation.
Thank you
