Never underestimate the power of a group of small town women who want change. They could have brunch together and come up with a plan. 😉 #mapoli

"What the public needs to see is a T that’s working' — not a governor who shares the pain of getting stuck in a slow zone."

Exactly! Voters understand that our tax code has been regressive and that we need to be investing more in both education and transportation -- as well as other areas like affordable housing and environmental protection.

We shouldn't go backwards.

#mapoli

Raise Up MA @RaiseUpMA

Voters were clear in November: Massachusetts supports a fairer tax code.

Giving big tax cuts to the wealthiest states takes us backwards from that goal.

Let your legislators know: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/rum-fy24-budget.

The charitable deduction is such a shameless giveaway to the rich and takes the allocation of funds outside of the process of democratic deliberation. #mapoli

Progressive Mass @ProgressiveMass

We don't need more tax cuts for the rich. That's why we're proud to support legislation from @JamieEldridgeMA and @erika4rep to target the charitable deduction to those who aren't *already* getting such a benefit on their federal taxes.
