The Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition has launched a new campaign and website designed to raise awareness of the trans community in the commonwealth.

Advocates explained that the purpose of the multimedia "I AM: Trans People Speak COMMUNITY" campaign was to create an empowering space on the web for trans people and their allies from around the country that will allow them share their own stories and educate the public. They stressed these testimonials will give hope to trans youth and adults who are just starting to come out.

MTPC launched the "I AM: Trans People Speak" campaign, which is a collection of recorded stories that challenge stereotypes and misconceptions of trans people by highlighting the realities of their lived experiencea, in 2010. This project gave trans people in Massachusetts the chance to tell their own stories and show the diversity of the community.
