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.

United We Stand: No One Gets Left Behind
When we reach out to one another, we build a bridge that no amount of hatred or division can tear down.
Look around at our movement today. The hands joining together are the very hands that have carried the heaviest burdens:
Trans youth and critical youth fighting for their right to exist authentically.
LGBTQ+ incarcerated men and women, and incarcerated seniors who deserve dignity, care, and a voice.
Those living with HIV/AIDS who continue to show us what resilience truly means.
Every person standing up against transphobia and systemic injustice.
We are holding hand to hand, locked in unity. We are not going to let each other fall.
Strength in Every Link
It is easy for the world to try to knock us down when we stand alone. But when we build each other up, we create an unbreakable bond. Every single person in our community matters. Every struggle is connected, and every victory belongs to all of us.
When we choose love over division, support over judgment, and solidarity over isolation, we win. Hold On Tight
Today, let’s make a promise to one another: We are each other’s keepers. Reach out to someone who is struggling. Lift up a voice that is being silenced. Honor the history, protect the youth, and care for the elders.
Together, hand in hand, we are unstoppable.
