I was looking at the calendar yesterday and realized something: we were exactly six months to the day away from Election Day (November 8, 2022).
That means that we now have less than six months to have as many conversations with fellow voters around the Commonwealth about the Fair Share for MA campaign and how it can mean better schools, better roads, better bridges, better transit, and a fairer economy.
The campaign will be formally launching this week, and there will be canvasses around the state (and many more to come).
This Week: Join Fair Share for Massachusetts for a regional canvass during our campaign launch week!
We’ll be hitting the doors and talking to voters about how the Fair Share Amendment could transform our communities—from well-resourced and affordable public education to safe roads and bridges and reliable public transportation.
Canvasses are being held in:
- Amherst – Thursday, May 12
- Boston (Hyde Park) – Saturday, May 14
- Fall River – Saturday, May 14
- Salem – Saturday, May 14
- Somerville – Sunday, May 15
- Brookline – Sunday, May 15
And sign a pledge to vote YES on Fair Share this November if you haven’t already!
Will You Be Able to Register on Election Day? 🗳
Negotiations between the MA House and MA Senate happening right now will determine whether or not eligible voters will be able to register to vote or update their registration on Election Day.
The four Democrats on the six-person Conference Committee are Senators Barry Finegold (Andover, Lawrence, Dracut, Tewksbury) and Cindy Creem (Brookline, Newton, Wellesley) and Representatives Mike Moran (Allston-Brighton, St. Mary’s in Brookline) and Dan Ryan (Charlestown, most of Chelsea).
Look up your state representative and state senators’ phone numbers here and call them to stress the importance of passing Election Day Registration this year.
Sample Script: 📞
“My name is [NAME], calling from [ADDRESS/TOWN]. Election Day Registration is a simple, proven reform that increases participation, improves the accuracy of voter rolls, and would make Massachusetts more of a leader on voting rights. Please urge the VOTES Act Conference Committee to include Election Day Registration in the final bill.”
