The creation of the cliff effect pilot program is a tremendous victory for workers and families throughout the Commonwealth.
Yesterday, we celebrated our efforts in getting it over the finish line.
Thank you to everyone who joined us today to celebrate our Cliff Effect Pilot Program! We are so excited to get started with implementation and could not have done it without our amazing coalition, our incredible sponsors, and the help of so many other organizations
The Advocacy Team was joined by Anne Kandilis from @SpfldWORKS, Laura Sylvester from @FoodBankWMA, & Gabriella Chiarenza from the Federal Reserve System's communications team. Shout out to Co-Chair Nakita for facilitating!
