There's a new safe haven for those who identify as transgender in the Bay State, after Worcester officially became a sanctuary city for that community during a lengthy city council meeting on Tuesday night.
This meeting lasted about five hours and there were about 200 people who showed up to voice their support.
It was standing room only inside council chambers – as dozens of residents spoke before the city council in favor of making Worcester a sanctuary city for those who identify as transgender or of other diverse genders.
This campaign comes on the heels of the first openly nonbinary member elected to the council Worcester City Councilor-at-Large Thu Nguyen taking a hiatus from the council, after they say the environment was transphobic.
City Council votes to make Worcester sanctuary city for transgender people
After a debate Tuesday, the Worcester City Council voted in favor of a resolution to protect transgender and gender-diverse people.
Local organization Queer Residents of Worcester and Our Allies filed the petition asking councilors to make Worcester a sanctuary city for transgender and gender diverse people.
The petition specifically asks the city to not cooperate with federal and state policies aimed at harming transgender and gender diverse people, and to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community here has access to healthcare, housing, education, and employment without fear of discrimination.
“You have an incredible opportunity as a community to support our children, you have an opportunity to decrease the rates of depression and suicide by showing our children that their safety and dignity are a priority," one meeting attendee said.
“It is your responsibility to stand up and fight for our people, for your people, for the people," another added.
The city council approved it by a vote of 9-2.

A look at the life and career of Worcester City Councilor Thu Nguyen, in their own words
Rachel Armany
January 17, 2025
Updated January 21, 2025
Worcester City Councilor Thu Nguyen announced on Wednesday that they are taking a one-month hiatus from their position.
Nguyen, who is the first nonbinary elected official in Massachusetts, cited issues of transphobia and toxicity on the council over the three years they have been in office.
they spoke to GBH News earlier this month to reflect on their life and career — and how their identity helps them bring a unique perspective to politics.
“I think I’ve always been nonbinary, but there hasn’t always been the words for it,” they said. “I believe there’s beautiful spectrums and that there are so many things beyond what we know. And I continue to grow into my gender and sexuality every day. And I think that’s a very beautiful thing.”
they added that the “creativity” in the queer community has been “one of [their] guiding lights.”
Nguyen, who is 33, has lived mostly in Worcester since they were 18 months old, when their family came to the United States as refugees.
“I grew up in [the neighborhood] Main South, so I had friends from all kinds of countries — also refugees,” they said. “I think one of the harder parts of growing up in Worcester was leaving and understanding that in different places … there’s a kind of a monolith of what people expect others to be.”
Before becoming a city councilor, Nguyen attended Middlebury College and Clark University, and lived in both Boston and New Orleans, where they said they learned key lessons about community organizing and mutual aid.
“One of the first things I did when I was in college was I co-created this organization where we taught young people how to make social documentaries,” they said. “And [the work] kind of really trickled outwards because when we have young folks talking about being undocumented and having a social documentary on it, I think action is called for.”
Nguyen announced their candidacy for an at-large seat on Worcester’s city council in 2021, placing fourth in a field of 10 candidates. they took office in 2022, becoming not only the first nonbinary elected official in Massachusetts, but also Worcester’s first Southeast Asian council member.
“If anything, I think my role is to disrupt and dismantle and demystify this notion of being a councilor and what it looks like,” they said. “For Worcester, that was just an historical moment. And I always say, you know, you could be historically the first, but what you do with it is the important thing.”
Over the last three years, they said one of their proudest moments was seeing the community testify on the regulation of crisis pregnancy centers in Worcester.
“Even if the councilors don’t look at [the constituents] and will vote no, I think it’s beautiful to see [people] mobilize,” they said.
they added that going into a second Trump administration, they are hoping to continue to see people supporting each other with shared resources.
“I see so many lawyers going out there to be like, all right, 'Let us help you figure out how to adopt your kids immediately.’ I know photographers who are like saying, 'Hey, if you want to get married to your partner now, this is a time before whatever could happen,'” they said. “And so I love this mutual aid notion where people are stepping up to really support each other in ways that our governments won’t.”

The Massachusetts Cultural Council has awarded 53 grants, totalling in $246,844, to help fund Worcester-based arts and cultural programs through the City’s Worcester Arts Council.
WAC, a public-private partnership between the City of Worcester and 12 cultural organizations, is part of the MCC’s Local Cultural Council Program network, the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the country, said a press release from the City of Worcester on Tuesday.
Out of the 118 applicants WAC received for its 2024 grants, five artist fellowships and 48 projects were selected to receive awards ranging from $2,420 to $5,000.
The Worcester-based artists who received funding were: Travis Duda, Jerry Kazarian, Ferlay Jean-Baptiste, Tina Gaffney, and Lynn Aurelie Thibault, all of whom received $5,000 each.
Grant winners came from a diverse composite of musical, advocacy, cultural awareness and nonprofit organizations.
Amongst those receiving $5,000 grants were:
- Crocodile River Music, a music program aiming to expand access to African arts through performance and education, to help fund its Worcester’s Got African Talent 3.0 project.
-LGBTQ+ advocacy nonprofit Love Your Labelsfor its Threads Fashion Design Program and Threads Pop Ups initiatives.
- The Chinese Family Network working to support and empower Chinese families and children received the funding to support its 2024 Spring Festival.
Applications were evaluated based on their public benefit, creative/artistic merit, capacity, budget, impact, and innovation along with how well the applications reflected WAC’s funding priorities which were established based on community input.
“I am thrilled to witness the Worcester Arts Council’s unwavering dedication to facilitating opportunities for local artists and creative projects,” Worcester Cultural Development Officer Fabian Barracks said in the release. “Their commitment not only fulfills our city’s cultural plan but also ignites our office’s strategic functions.”
