The Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC) is a Massachusetts based organization dedicated to ending discrimination on the basis of gender identity and gender expression. The MTPC educates the public, lobbies state and local government, and encourages political activism.

The MTPC professes to work guided by the following values: equal rights and institutional responsibility; working against all forms of oppression; building broad-based participation and community power; developing leaders and building coalitions; drawing strength from diverse experiences and identities; being informed by our history and elders; growing through challenge and critique; being inclusive of those who cannot be fully visible; and accountability to the communities for which we work.

MTPC hosts a local transgender resource wiki and helpful materials for transgender activism on its website.

Current MTPC committees include a legislative committee, an insurance committee, a fundraising committee, a training manual committee, a policy committee and a college committee.
