First, the budget cuts to dozens of social services. Now, a hiring freeze. This budget shortfall did not need to happen. Beacon Hill chose to cut $1 billion in annual revenue with tax cuts which disproportionately benefit the very rich. It's time to repeal the tax cuts.

Our fundraiser is this Sunday! In addition to Sen. Jamie Eldridge, we will be joined by Dr. Raul Fernandez. We could not be more thrilled to have Raul bring his perspective as an academic, nonprofit leader, and former municipal official. RSVP or donate: bit.ly/aom-spring🌷

It's unacceptable that our legislature is so dysfunctional and opaque. We need a responsive and accountable legislature that will deliver on housing, climate & environmental protections, fixing the T, and so much more. Proud to sign Act on Mass's Voters Deserve to Know pledge 💫

Thanks to the number crunching of our friends at Progressive Mass , we know that the MA House has taken about half the number of recorded votes this session as they have in recent years. And yes, it's as bad as it sounds: wwlp.com/news/state-pol…

Shameful. How are our legislators supposed to represent their constituents when they hardly take any votes?

The legislative session in Boston is drawing to a close and one important act is waiting on a vote. The Sunlight Act would bring our Legislature and governor’s actions into the sunlight of public scrutiny. gazettenet.com/Letter-to-the-…

'We’re one of only four states where the Legislature is exempt from public records law, one of only two where the governor is exempt, and the only state where the Legislature, the judiciary, and the governor’s office all claim this exemption.' commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/sunshi…

'Saving people the drive to Beacon Hill is great, but means little if people still have only a few days notice to take time off work and prepare their testimony, and have no insight into the committee’s decision after the fact.' h/t Act on Mass

The hourly wage needed to cover the cost of living in Massachusetts jumped by more than $6 last year! The cost of living has increased, and the minimum wage needs to too.
