We are relaunching our campaign for expungement. The 2018 law was the first step, but it doesn't work for youth yet. Let's amend the law to account for recidivism, reduce the list of restricted charges, and more. Join the movement at https://t.co/9BlbwPknvp #ExpungeMA #mapoli

Editorial: Massachusetts’ police reform bill is a beginning and should not be the last word on such reforms in the state. #mapoli https://t.co/7BKcyiUfnL

"History is being made here in MA on police reform. And while it may be less than some wanted, it surely qualifies as the top-to-bottom change in the way policing is done and in the way police are held accountable that thousands took to the streets last summer to demand." #mapoli

Amendment 166 did not make it. Thank you to the hundreds of organizers who made calls, to the 58 cosponsors, and to our amazing sponsors @RepAndyVargas & @MarjorieDecker with support from the @MA_BLLC and @MAProgCaucus. Next stop... conference committee. #ExpungeMA #mapoli

July is BIPOC Mental Health Month. This @MIT health impact assessment show that expungement for youth leads to better mental health outcomes because it reduces police encounters and perceived discrimination. Let's PASS amd #166 to H.4860 today to recognize the month. #mapoli

Did you know that Coney Island Hot Dogs in Worcester is amazing? Did you also know that amendment #166 to H.4860 still needs cosponsors?! Call your Reps now! Eat hot dogs later. Thanks to the Worcester Reps who've cosponsored! #mapoli #expungeMA 🌭🌭🌭

[TeensLeadingTheWay @TLTWorganizers]

For years, we have refused to give up on the political process with hope of one day clearing our records. Today our hope is alive and in the hands of amd #166 to H4860 which would expand the expungement law. Join us in asking @SpeakerDeLeo and @RepMichlewitz for support. #mapoli
