We’re now in a new legislative session in the Massachusetts State Legislature. Bills will be filed (by next Friday!), committees assigned, hearings held, etc., etc. Which raises an important question: How does this process even work?
That’s why next week, we’ll be hosting a Beacon Hill 101 virtual event, which will be a refresher on the legislative process in Massachusetts and how you can take action over the next two years.
Read on for more info about next Wednesday and two other upcoming events:
- Our annual meeting on February 1st (February: it’s closer than you think!)
- Clean Slate MA’s campaign launch
Our Beacon Hill 101 Legislative Advocacy Event
The new legislative session in the MA Legislature begins on January 1, 2025, and our Legislature can be hard to follow (for a reason). Join us on Wednesday, January 15, for a refresher on the legislative process in Massachusetts and how YOU can make a difference.
