The Problem: MA Faces Massive Cuts to Healthcare, Food Aid, and Education (To Fund Trump’s Tax Cuts for Billionaires and Big Corporations)
Up to 350,000people in MA risk losing healthcare & food assistance due to massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP
MA is set to lose as much as $3.5 billion in annual federal aid — blowing a massive hole in the state budget
Federal cuts to PreK-12 schools, colleges, and childcare could hurt more than 1 million students.
Our Solution: Protect Our Care with Mass Corporate Fair Share and Reserves
Massachusetts can prevent the worst of these devastating budget cuts by:
Tapping the state’s $8 billion rainy day fund
Making billionaire tax-dodging global corporations like Apple, Amazon, McDonalds, & Walmart pay their fair share in state taxes
Join us for a community town hall on Corporate Fair Share and other options to protect our state programs on Tuesday, October 14, 5:30 PM at the DeWitt Center in Roxbury.
At this meeting, we will talk about:
The GOOD: How Corporate Fair Share and a judicious use of state reserves can offset the budget cuts threatening our Commonwealth
The UGLY: The harm that the Republican “Big Ugly Bill” will cause in Massachusetts.
The BAD: The impact that budget cuts are already having on your constituents.

Tell Legislators to Protect Our Care! Indivisibles across the state have been urging Gov. Maura Healey and MA legislators to take action to preempt the harm that Trump is threatening to send our way. The “big, beautiful bill,” which is diverting public monies to billionaires and corporations, is about to trigger major health care, hunger and education crises in Massachusetts.
Tapping the rainy day fund and passing the Corporate Fair Share legislation can help protect our care, but legislators need to hear from us! Join the action when the bill has a hearing before the Joint Committee on Revenue on October 3 at the State House. Can’t make it to the State House? Send your legislators a quick email to urge them to support Corporate Fair Share HERE.
The Indivisible Mass Coalition Statewide Call on Tuesday, October 7, at 7 PM will feature Maria Stephan for a conversation on what’s next in the fight against authoritarianism. Stephan, co-author with Erica Chenoweth of “Why Civil Resistance Works,” will share her insights about her work on building people-powered movements to defend our freedoms.
It’s fall. Do you know what that means? Pumpkin spice lattes. Pumpkin spice muffins. Pumpkin spice donuts. Pumpkin spice everything–just as long as it doesn’t get on your signature sheets. Because it’s also ballot question signature collection season.
There will be a special standout at the Burlington ICE office for those celebrating Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, our holiest day of the year. There will be quiet music, some singing, some prayers, a recitation of the Torah and Haftarah portions. This will be a quiet vigil. No marching. Please bring your own chair.
For parking, please use the Macy’s overflow lot (75 Burlington Mall Road, follow signs for Macy’s, see map)
Join us for a No Hate/No Violence protest. Bring signs of peace and unity, and please include Trans folks in your messages, but please refrain from “Trans Lives Matter” as we don’t want to overstep the “Black Lives Matter” movement. Please email Wren, at theflamingorevolutionists@gmail.com if you need other examples.
Signs of all kinds are still welcome, including those of Palestine and Gaza, but please no 8647 signs as they send the wrong message.
Please bring snacks and water for fuel and hydration.
Please note that this is a weather permitting event. If there is heavy storms, the event will be rescheduled, if possible.
A 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.
So many of us are in close relationship with some of the 77 million people who voted for Donald Trump – as this last week has made very clear as our group chats and breakrooms erupt in debate.
Aunts, neighbors, coworkers– people who we care about who supported an administration that is now enacting a white supremacist billionaire agenda. Whether you’re close with a Trump voter or a few degrees away, what do we do with this tension? And how do we, as white people who care about justice, step into the responsibility of out-organizing MAGA in our own communities while maintaining our own boundaries?
In conversation with Beth Macy, journalist and author of the best-selling book Dopesick, we’ll talk about her upcoming book that explores this dynamic and her experiences returning to her white working class hometown in rural Ohio.
This is a call aimed towards white people who more deeply want to understand what drives white support for Trump– and who feel committed to giving white people a better option than white supremacy. And people of all races are welcome.
