Protect Our Care Town Hall: Stop the Cuts with Corporate Fair Share (BOSTON)

The problem? Massachusetts is facing massive cuts to healthcare, food assistance programs, and education (to fund Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations).

Our solution? Protect our care by tapping the state’s $8 billion rainy day fund and making billionaire tax-dodging global corporations like Apple, Amazon, McDonald’s, & Walmart pay their fair share in state taxes.

Join [your organization/union] and Raise Up Massachusetts for our upcoming PROTECT OUR CARE TOWN HALL: STOP THE CUTS WITH CORPORATE FAIR SHARE to learn more about how MA can tap the state’s rainy day fund and pass our Mass. Corporate Fair Share legislation to raise more than $1.5 Billion to stop the devastating federal cuts to healthcare, food assistance, education, and other critical services in Massachusetts.

The Climate for Climate Policy under a Hostile Regime
2025-09-30 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
The Climate for Climate Policy under a Hostile Regime

Every week, we hear in the news about new assaults on environmental protection from the Trump administration. Blocking clean energy projects. Opening up new areas for drilling and mining. Throwing money at fossil fuel companies and executives while eliminating resources for renewables and energy efficiency. Censoring and defunding environmental justice research. Canceling grants. The list goes on.
Trump’s actions are causing and will continue to cause harm. But climate denialism doesn’t change the reality of the climate crisis. What can we do at the city and state level to fight back? Join us for a virtual forum on Tuesday, September 30, at 7:00 pm.

We Won More State House Transparency. What's Next?

We Won More State House Transparency. What’s Next?

In late June, the MA House and Senate passed new Joint Rules for the first time in six years.
That may sound wonky or arcane, but the rules govern who gets to participate in the legislative process and when and how. And because of activists like you, we were able to win real pro-transparency, pro-participation reforms.
But what do these new rules mean? How can we ensure that they lead to the progressive policies we want? And what other reforms are necessary?
Join Act on Mass, Progressive Dems of Mass, Progressive Mass, Mass Sierra Club, and 350 Mass for an update.

GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: Framingham, MA, SUNDAY, JULY 20!
2025-07-20 15:00 - 16:30 | Framingham Centre Historical Common, Vernon Street & Edgell Road, Framingham, MA
GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: Framingham, MA, SUNDAY, JULY 20!
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, people are taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble. HOWEVER, in Framingham, we have had to schedule our event for SUNDAY, JULY 20, in order to have access to our favorite large open space!
From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.
This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.
We will hear from speakers about John Lewis’ legacy and how we can live up to his teaching of “Good Trouble, Necessary Trouble.” Organizations that are protecting and supporting our immigrant neighbors will be present to help us discover volunteer opportunities with them.
