I’m thrilled to be working with Senator @SalDiDomenico, Representative Lipper Garabedian, and @hczorg President and Founder, Geoffrey Canada in tackling poverty in Massachusetts!
Passing legislation like the ENOUGH Act is how we break the intergenerational poverty cycle.
Great momentum for my ENOUGH Act legislation - We recently launched a full court press for my transformational anti-poverty bill alongside, @hczorg President and Founder, Geoffrey Canada, and we made big strides...
Honored to have the endorsement of Gov @maura_healey & LG @KimDriscollMA in our campaign to make the Plymouth & Barnstable district a more affordable & vibrant place to live!
Gov Healey signed the supplemental budget including $4M for The Z’s project! Thanks Sen Montigny, Reps @RepTonyCabral, Hendricks, @ChrisMarkeyRep, Schmid & Strauss for your advocacy! Also Chairs @SenRodrigues & @RepMichlewitz, @MassLtGov & @MassGovernor for supporting our vision!
Today, @RepMichlewitz and I introduced the House’s initial FY24 budget proposal. We are confident that this package can play a consequential role in addressing many of the ongoing challenges facing the Commonwealth. (1/3)
S.2030, An Act establishing a jail and prison construction moratorium has been REPORTED OUT favorably from the State Admin committee!
TY chairs @MarcRPacheco and @RepTonyCabral for advancing the bill and to @justicehealing, @PplNotPrisons, and many more for continued advocacy.
A great morning with @MassLtGov at the @KilburnMill celebrating the #MassWorks grant New Bedford received, which will revitalize the South End and create lasting impacts on the economic development of New Bedford by increasing livability and accessibility!
Tonight’s hearing and show of solidarity among New Bedford and Fall River elected leaders is a testament to our commitment to public education and what is best for our students, families, educators, and cities. We urge DESE to reject the Innovators Charter School proposal
.@RepTonyCabral says the New Bedford community is "united" in opposition of the proposed charter school.
Adds that funding should go directly "in the schools that serve the greatest number of students."
#PublicFundsForPublicSchools
We need to continue to invest our time, energy, and fiscal resources in our traditional public school system – which remains the great equalizer in our society. This is why I am proudly testifying against the proposed Innovators Charter School at today’s DESE Hearing! #newbedford
Early childhood education is at an inflection point, & as we build back better and stronger, we must acknowledge that this foundation begins with investing in our children. #earlyeducationandcare#marunsonchildcare#childcareisinfrastructure

I’ve fought on behalf of early education and care for over a decade, and now is the time for MA to seize this moment and solidify the state’s role as a leader on education starting from infancy. Building back better begins with our investment in early childhood education and care
Thank you @RepTonyCabral for your support and cosponsorship of the Common Start bill! We agree, a strong foundation begins with investment in early education and care #MARunsOnChildCare#mapoli
