This morning I was part of a panel for The @WBUR Festival with Miriam Wasser, Matt Nelson, and Mary Wambui: “The Price of Power, Why Your Energy Bills Keep Rising.”

We unpacked the market and policy drivers behind the skyrocketing electric and gas bills across New England.

[Representative Erika Uyterhoeven @rep_erika]

Have you ever tried reading 106 pages of energy permitting statutes in 45 minutes? This just can’t be how we legislate the next 30 years of energy policy.

🏢 NEW Report: MA has the opportunity to reclaim hundreds of millions in revenue from multinational corporations engaged in offshore tax avoidance. Federal laws governing GILTI can be used to make them contribute their fair share. #mapoli

Our briefing at the MA State House had such an amazing turnout!

We shared our stories to support legislation for sex workers’ safety:
- amnesty for reporting crimes
- ending common nightwalking
- a Human Trafficking Prevention Project
- a committee to study decriminalization

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

As a former AG, I believe in creating a fairer justice system, and clemency helps soften its harsher edges. Understanding each person’s unique story and how systemic biases play a role in their life is part of building a safer and stronger Massachusetts. https://t.co/KTMwFq2vLG

[Sally Avila Edwards @sallyedwards04]

As @CambEducation contract negotiations enter their 2nd year, teachers across the state remain without the right to legally strike. A bill presented by a @MikeConnollyMA and @rep_erika could soon change that.

[Massachusetts Teachers Association @massteacher]

The right to strike is a “fundamental human right,”
said bill
sponsor @rep_erika, who explained that the bill is “intended to end bargaining stalemates and put workers and managers on equal footing during contract talks.” #maedu #mapoli

When Somerville first passed our Transfer Fee home rule petition to fund affordable housing back in 2018, there were just 2 or 3 communities doing so. Testifying today on Beacon Hill, we’re one of nearly 20 municipalities (@LOHACoalition). The time is now! https://t.co/ExdKzTxHWc
