Although the MA Legislature will soon go on recess for the end-of-year holiday season, this time of year is critical for building momentum for key legislative priorities.
Mark your calendar with some great opportunities to deepen your knowledge about and show support for the Safe Communities Act and the Common Start bill.
Safe Communities Act Town Hall
We’re 18 months into the COVID-19 pandemic and 9 months into a new federal administration and the passage of the Massachusetts Safe Communities Act ( S.1579 and H.2418) is more important than ever. Ending police and court involvement in deportations remains an urgent public health and public safety priority in Massachusetts. Join allies in the Safe Communities Act Coalition for a virtual town hall on November 18th to hear from immigrant workers, immigrant survivors of domestic violence, and advocates about why the passage of the Safe Communities Act is essential and what you can do to take action.
Interpretation will be available.
Zoom link available upon RSVP.
Common Start Coalition Week of Action
In advance of the hearing later this month on the Common Start bill, there will be rallies across the state.
The Common Start bill would establish a system of affordable, high-quality early education and child care for all Massachusetts families.
