Please join us for this virtual ceremony to mark the release of our annual report providing policy recommendations to the state government and its agencies for the upcoming fiscal year 2021. Along with our priority areas of homelessness, juvenile justice, health, and inclusion, we will present a new report on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on LGBTQ youth and young adults.
We will hear from Commission leadership and Representative Jack Lewis about issues facing LGBTQ youth today and how the State of Massachusetts can support them.

In addition to releasing its annual recommendations report, the Commission will also publicly swear in its 50 members from across Massachusetts and present awards to those making a difference in the lives of LGBTQ youth.
