SUMMARY:Stipend Reform for a Better MA Legislature Forum
DESCRIPTION:A  ballot initiative we support to reform the corrupting stipend system in the MA legislature will appear on the November 2026 ballot. Our unique stipend system—by which our elected representatives  are beholden to leadership for a significant portion of their pay—cements the stranglehold those leaders maintain on all legislation in the Commonwealth. This dynamic has helped create a major obstacle to accountability and the least effective and transparent legislature in the US. PDM wants MA voters to weigh in on this important reform.Our panelists will be Jonathan Hecht\, a PDM leader who served as Watertown’s State Representative from 2009 to 2020 and Brian Muldoon\, an accomplished organizer\, who is leading the newly formed Legislative Effectiveness and Accountability Project (LEAP) to support the ballot question. They will explain the significance of stipend reform\, the campaign to get the question on the ballot and how you can help. To move the campaign forward\, PDM needs your assistance to gather 100\,000 signatures supporting the initiative\, between September and November of this fall. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for zoom link\n\n\n\n\nScotia Hille\, Executive Director of Act on Mass\, will moderate.

SUMMARY:SAFE Flamingos Defend Democracy
DESCRIPTION:SAFE (Supporting All Folks Equally) Flamingos\, formerly The Flamingo Revolutionists (still under this name on here until I am able to change it)\, is holding a protest/rally to fight against the issues that are plaguing us every. single. day.

I have all the faith in the world that we can win this. So grab your signs and come out with passion and power in your hearts to take back this country that is OURS\, not Trump’s. \n\n\n\nEvent pending weather. If there is heavy rain or thunderstorms\, the event will be cancelled. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for weather updates\n\n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
