Let’s build on the big blue wave we generated in last week’s elections and take the next step in flipping the House and taking back our government!
A Republican in TN resigned, leaving his House seat open and we’ve got a great opportunity to flip this seat blue in this December’s special election!
Join us in calling Democratic voters in TN, to make sure they know about this election and their excellent candidate (a former Indivisible organizer), Aftyn Behn. There’ll be a full training to begin and lots of support throughout – all are welcome and needed!
The Legislature has scheduled a hearing for the Safe Communities Act on Tuesday, November 25 in Gardner Auditorium at the State House. Even if you’re unable to attend the hearing, there are actions you can take now to urge our state legislators to pass important bills to protect immigrants. Last month, ICE detained nearly 1,500 people in Massachusetts, including longtime residents, workers, taxpayers, parents, and neighbors who contribute deeply to our communities – tell your legislators they need to act!

Senate Republicans rammed through their Medicaid and SNAP slashing reconciliation bill with life threatening cuts. We’re seeing increased costs of healthcare, groceries, Insurance premiums, childcare and more.
Raise your voice to let our Members of Congress know that this is unacceptable. Join this event to end the outrageous giveaways by this administration at the cost of working families, low-income folks, seniors and veterans. Slashing Medicaid and SNAP to fund billionaire tax breaks is unacceptable.
