SUMMARY:House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka with MASSterList columnist Jon Keller.
DESCRIPTION: Doors open for networking and light refreshments at 8:30 AM. The program will run from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nAn election year is always fraught on Beacon Hill\, but in 2026\, the stakes couldn’t be higher. How will the Legislature respond to federal budget cuts and other policies that are highly problematic for the Commonwealth? Mounting economic and political pressures and an election cycle packed with high-profile races and ballot questions will give House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka plenty to discuss at a timely fireside chat with MASSterList columnist Jon Keller.\n\n\n\nCan you attend to press them to pass the bills about ICE QUICKLY. (Days not weeks).  Gov. Healey’s Bill. The Protect Act.  The Safe Communities Act.  Dignity Not Deportation Act.

SUMMARY:Training: Peacekeeping at Protests
DESCRIPTION:Protests\, rallies\, and marches are important tactics to fight back against the Trump Administration.
