SUMMARY:RAINY DAY ACTION WITH RAISE UP MASSACHUSETTS
DESCRIPTION:RAINY DAY ACTION WITH RAISE UP MASSACHUSETTS\nPlease join the Raise Up Massachusetts Coalition for a rally where we ask state legislators to use just 15% (~$1.2B) of the state’s reserve fund (a.k.a. the ‘Rainy Day Fund’) to offset devastating federal cuts to SNAP\, education\, and healthcare. We’ll also ask legislators to prioritize the people of Massachusetts over billionaire corporation’s profits\, by passing our Mass. Corporate Fair Share bill and opting out of the five most costly and regressive corporate tax provisions of the new federal tax law. \n\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday\, November 13\, 2025 at 11:00 AM\nLocation: Front Staircase\, Beacon Street\, Massachusetts State House\, Boston\nWhat to bring: Bring an umbrella☔️ to signal to legislators that we must tap the ‘Rainy Day Fund’!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Crisayda at crisayda@field-first.com. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Protecting Massachusetts Communities: Rally & Hearing
DESCRIPTION:Federal immigration agents have been terrorizing communities across Massachusetts in service of Donald Trump’s xenophobic\, hateful agenda. Families are torn apart\, workplaces stripped of employees\, and documented immigrants have feared their status will be revoked. Massachusetts can and must take action to better protect our communities. \nThree key pro-immigrant bills will have hearings next week: \n\nSafe Communities Act (H.2580 / S.1681)\, which would end the voluntary involvement of our public safety officials in civil immigration matters\nDignity Not Deportations Act (H.1588 / S.1122)\, which would prohibit sheriffs from voluntarily renting beds to ICE and ban agreements to deputize state and local law enforcement to ICE\nImmigrant Legal Defense Act (H.1954 / S.1127)\, which would ensure that immigrants navigating our complex immigration courts have legal representation and make permanent a recent budgetary appropriation\n\nJoin us at the State House next Tuesday for a rally and the hearings fo rthese bills. \nProtect Massachusetts Communities | Pre-Hearing Rally  \nTuesday\, November 25\, 2025 at 9:00 AM  \nMassachusetts State House | Room 428 \n \nThe Dignity Not Deportations bill and the Immigrant Legal Defense Act will have hearings at 10 am in Room A2.
