Get ready for a powerful Pride Month edition of The Future with Leadership Brainery Founders at the Museum of Science, Boston. This special conversation will unpack the findings from the newly released 2025 report, LGBTQ+ People in Massachusetts, a groundbreaking collaboration between The Boston Foundation and Fenway Health.

Despite Massachusetts' reputation as a national leader in LGBTQ+ rights, data continues to reveal stark disparities in health outcomes, economic stability, housing, and safety—especially for transgender people, LGBTQ+ youth, and communities of color. This discussion will explore how we can translate data into action, transform systems, and create a more equitable Commonwealth — for the future and beyond.
