Marriott Downtown | Kansas City | October 25–27, 2019
Local representatives from Greater Boston PFLAG traveled to the PFLAG’s 2019 “We Are the Change” National Convention in Kansas City to accept the organization’s National Chapter Award. The award acknowledged the Boston chapter’s 14 support groups, 24-hour hotline, extensive support offerings and safe schools program. In addition to praising this work, the award statement read, “it is their advocacy work that truly shines. As founding members of Freedom for All Massachusetts they successfully campaigned on 2018’s Yes on 3 vote and lobbied to pass a conversion therapy ban in 2019. And they didn’t stop there: PFLAG Greater Boston members are now working tirelessly to ensure there is a gender neutral identity marker available on state-issued IDs.”
