Transgender people are our friends, family members, neighbors, coworkers, and fellow worshippers, and when voters are asked whether to continue to treat them with dignity and respect they will vote yes. Yet with the stakes so high, this campaign is working every day until November 6 to ensure our laws stay intact and discrimination stays out of Massachusetts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">***<\/p>\n<p>There is also a looming ballot measure in Montana, where signatures are currently being collected to place\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sos.mt.gov\/Portals\/142\/Elections\/archives\/2010s\/2018\/I-183.pdf?dt=1502668800034\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Initiative 183<\/a>\u00a0on the ballot.
