Recently, we sat down with Tre’Andre Carmel Valentine, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Trans Political Coalition (MTPC), for a conversation about what it takes to build true infrastructure for trans liberation.
In our interview, Tre’Andre shares how MTPC’s programming supports trans people across Massachusetts, from leadership development and identity documentation assistance to policy advocacy and community engagement. We also talk about how folks can show up right now to advance MTPC’s legislative priorities, and why joy, care, and celebration remain central to the work — even in the face of increasing political hostility.
At a time when trans communities are under attack across the country, MTPC continues to build power with intention — centering those most impacted, and creating spaces rooted in resilience and collective care.
"Every act of solidarity helps push back against the tidal wave of anti-trans policies we are seeing nationally. And Massachusetts has the opportunity to lead by example. And we need everyone in this fight with us." —Tre’Andre Carmel Valentine
