Tuesday, June 6 @ 1 pm at the State House (House Members Lounge) — Polluters Pay & Put Gas in the Past Legislative Briefing
This event will be a presentation for legislators on bills at the center of two Mass Power Forward priority campaigns:
- For the Make Polluters Pay campaign, (H.872 /S.481), An Act Establishing a Climate Change Superfund Promoting Polluter Responsibility – which we call, for short, the “Polluter Responsibility Superfund Bill”.

Invite your legislators to the briefing with this toolkit.
Wednesday, June 7 @ 2 pm at the State House — Youth Justice Lobby Day —RSVP here
Join activists across the state to advocate for bills that would end the school-to-prison pipeline and ensure better outcomes for our youth. The lobby day will focus on bills to keep 18-to 20-year-olds out of the adult criminal justice system, expand opportunities to expunge criminal records, create opportunities for diversion, and more.
In solidarity,
