CALLS TO ACTION
PROTECT OUR RIGHT TO VOTE: Call Senators Markey (617-565-8519) and Warren (617-565-3170), thank them for opposing the SAVE Act, and ask them to do everything they can to keep the Democratic caucus united in opposing the SAVE Act.
URGENT PROTECT AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE on the OUTER CAPE: Call Senator Cyr (617) 722-1570 and Representative Luddy (617) 722-2582, thank them for sponsoring the 340B Program protection, S.819/H.4490 An Act Prohibiting Discrimination Against Drug Discount Program Participants and request that Cyr and Luddy use their influence to ensure this bill gets voted favorably out of the Joint Committee on Healthcare Financing
Call Governor Healy (617-725-4005) and demand that she terminate the state's 287 (g) collaborative agreement contract with ICE. Mass Department of Corrections is the only state-level agency in New England to still have such an agreement.

Universal Healthcare, An Act establishing Medicare for all in MA
Contact Rep Luddy and Sen Cyr, thank them for cosponsoring, and ask them to tell Leadership that the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing should report An Act Establishing Medicare for All in Massachusetts as "ought to pass".

An Act to Advance Health Equity, H1416/S901, ask Rep Luddy & Sen Cyr to co-sponsor by filling out this form: LINK
(Health Equity Compact)
John R Lewis Voting Rights Act, HR 14/S2523, thank Senator Warren, Markey, and Rep Keating for co-sponsoring, and ask them to advocate for this bill to be voted favorably out of committee so that co-sponsorship is not merely performative but truly a way of following this through to favorable passage.
