Testimony Needed in Boston

Substantia Jones · 03-02-2008, 01:30 PM

Hiya, Peeps! (You may remember me as BB, but I had change my password and can't remember what I changed it to.) Marilyn Wann has asked me to help rally troops to come support the height/weight anti-discrimination law up for ratification in Massachusetts, and I remember there being a lot of Northeasterners here...

People are needed to testify in a public hearing, sharing any stories of size discrimination they've experienced (employment, housing, education, health care, access to public facilities/transportation/accomodations), or to share knowledge of these things happening to others, particularly if they occurred in Massachusetts. If you've not suffered any such discrimination, your testimony would still be helpful in describing your desire to see an anti-discrimination law in place.

This can and has worked elsewhere, but your involvement is vital.

March 25, 2pm
State House, room A2
Boston

I'm not sure it's cool to post email addresses, so hit the link for mine in my profile and I'll pass yours along.

Hope everybody here is well, and feel free to forward this to anyone who may want to come be an important part of history in the making.

Thanks!

So great to see you! And this sounds amazing - crucial for the advancement of the size acceptance movement. I don't think it would hurt to post something about this in the East event forum.

It's so good to see you here again! (Doing the happy dance along with SVS.)

Hope very much to see more of you - though I am enjoying seeing your cute tush on my coffee mug in the morning!

If anyone attends this hearing, I invite you to write and tell us about it.

Damn it! And, I will be out of town that day!

Does it have to be in-person testimony?

Would they care that I am not a US citizen?

It's not disconcerting having so much booty all up in your Wheaties? Come to NYC and model for me... let's get your tush on breakfast tables.

Etobicoke - Excellent questions, both. Let me get back to ya.

Thanks, Kids.
