NORTHAMPTON, Mass.—More than 70 activists congregated in Lampron Park here on October 11 for the New England Trans United march.

The first Trans United march was held last year, after protection for transgender people was dropped from the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). This year's march was organized by New England Trans Unity with the goal of uniting diverse transgender and gender-variant communities and allies.
