Action Center

Massachusetts Family Institute is working hard to inform, educate, and motivate Bay Staters to effectively engage the culture. We decipher what is happening in government, then strive to inform and equip you to make your voice heard on the social issues impacting our families and our shared values. We know from years of experience that when you speak whether by email, letter, or a phone message — elected officials listen.

In this Action Center, we offer ways you can easily make your voice heard. Please get involved through the action items below!

BILLS WE SUPPORT

LIFE

Pro-Life Bills 2025

These pro-life bills aim to protect the unborn, support families, and ensure the ethical use of taxpayer funds, affirming the dignity of all human life.

EDUCATION

Sex Education Opt-In Bill

This bill would require school districts to adopt an opt-in policy requiring permission from parents before students would be allowed to participate in human sexual education.

Parent Rights in Education Bill

This bill is a crucial step to restore parental rights in our public schools. It ensures parents are fully informed and involved in important decisions about their children’s education, health, and well-being.

SEXUALITY

Detransition Coverage Bill

This bill acknowledges the painful realities faced by those who choose to detransition and seeks to ensure they are not left without support.
BILLS WE OPPOSE

LIFE

Radical Abortion Expansion Bills

This bill would remove nearly all abortion limits in MA, endangering women’s health, removing vital safeguards, and allowing girls of any age to get abortions without parental consent.

EDUCATION

Sex Education Mandate

Currently, local schools can decide for themselves what and when to teach the children in their community about sex, based on the unique needs of their student populations and desires of their parents. This bill would eliminate that right.

Library Porn Bills

These bills are designed to keep sexually explicit books on the shelves of public school libraries. Under the guise of preventing “book banning,” it makes it nearly impossible for local school committees to protect children from inappropriate content.

LGBT Curriculum Bill

Under this legislation, schools would be required to embed LGBTQ+ figures, history, and themes into the general curriculum without clear guidelines for age-appropriateness or opt-out protections raising serious concerns about parental rights.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

LGBT Foster Care Mandate

This bill claims to protect foster children but contains language that would eviscerate religious liberty for foster families, mandate radical ideology, and harm the very children it claims to protect.

Vaccine Exemption Elimination Bills

These bills would limit or eliminate religious exemptions to school vaccine mandates and allow minors to consent to their own vaccinations without parental knowledge or consent.

SEXUALITY

Prostitution Legalization Bill

Massachusetts is moving toward decriminalizing prostitution. This unconscionable move could have profound consequences for public safety, human dignity, and the fight against human trafficking.
ADDITIONAL ISSUES

In addition to our top legislative priorities, MFI is actively tracking several other important bills that impact family values, religious freedom, parental rights, and the sanctity of life here in Massachusetts. While these “honorable mention” bills may not be in the spotlight, they carry significant implications for our communities. From protecting children in public libraries to opposing state-funded abortion for inmates, each of these proposed bills deserves your attention and action. We urge you to review these bills and contact your legislators to make your voice heard.
