About Black and Pink Massachusetts Coalition (BPMC)
Uniting for Justice, Advocating for Equality
The Black and Pink Massachusetts Coalition (BPMC) is a non-profit organization 501 (c) 3 dedicated to advocating for the rights, freedoms, and needs of the LGBTQ+ community within the Massachusetts Department of Corrections and Houses of Correction. Our mission is to unite LGBTQ+ abolitionists and activists from all walks of life, including those who are formerly and currently incarcerated, into a collective force for change. We believe in the power of compassion, empathy, patience, and truthfulness to drive our advocacy efforts.
Founded by Aaron U Lester-Su’ganni Tiuza, and LGBTQ+ UGP executive Director Coordinator with 8 years of active service, BPMC was born out of a need to fight for the vulnerable. We saw a gap in advocacy for incarcerated LGBTQ+ individuals and stepped in to fill it. Today, BPMC stands as a reliable and positive abolitionist/advocacy force for the incarcerated LGBTQ+ community.
Becky Pepper-Jackson is a 16-year-old transgender high school track and field athlete from West Virginia. She became the center of a major national legal battle (West Virginia v. B.P.J.) after challenging a state law that bans transgender girls from participating on female sports teams.
In June 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 against her, upholding the state’s sports ban.

It is our transgender youth and transgender incarcerated siblings, who are catching the most hell right now!!! Yet, I see so many LGBTQ+ folks just acting all cool like nothing is happening here??? Today, I speak to those who aren’t active in making a change! Get involved with the right folks, the right cause so that when they come for you tomorrow, they can’t get you so easily because you will have a warrior team around you!!! Please do what you can TODAY to counter the attacks against our youth and incarcerated folks. WE NEED EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW!!!
