We know how important it is to have language access so the #MCSW can truly make an impact. We show our commitment through our translated materials and our interpreters at our events and public hearings. Everyone in Massachusetts deserves access to government services and information that is valuable, no matter their English proficiency. #LanguageAccess #EqualAccess #Translation

#MCSW witnessed history being made when Office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed the parentage act, ensuring equality for all families in Massachusetts! It has been 40 years since the state’s parentage laws have been updated. Now, if you have welcomed your child into the world through IVF, ART, and surrogacy, you are protected and respected in Massachusetts! We know that love is what makes a family and we’re thrilled that our laws recognize that too. #MassParentage
