Judith Tai Raanan & Natali Raanan have been released & are on their way home to their families & loved ones.

Praying for the same for every person held hostage by Hamas.

Their families are experiencing the unimaginable. We must center the people.

Powerful letter from Jewish & Muslim congressional staff to their bosses.

We join these staffers in their call -- it is not only possible, but essential, to simultaneously mourn for murdered Israelis, demand the safe return of hostages, *and* push for aid & immediate ceasefire.

It’s July 1st, 2023 & the day is finally here. Today, the Work and Family Mobility Act officially goes into effect in Massachusetts! 🎉 Thank you to the 270+ coalition partners & many supporters for believing, showing up and taking action in #DrivingMAForward – we did it! #mapoli

A reminder that MA is very much a part of this history.

"Massachusetts is the lowest-ranking state for African American voter registration..."

Happy Juneteenth. Today, we commemorate the end of legal slavery in the United States and vow to continue the fight for dignity and freedom for all. #HappyJuneteenth

⁦@NewtonTeachers⁩ is on 🔥! Hundreds and hundreds of Newton educators and their supporters are marching for a fair contract!

[Massachusetts Teachers Association @massteacher]

Fully Fund Our Schools! That’s the message from this newly formed band of @NewtonTeachers who are warming up the crowd of hundreds on Newton Common. 🥁🪘

"The policy is not announced; it is buried in hundreds of local zoning laws. The thousands of zoning decisions that follow add up to a glaring systematic injustice overdue for redress." #mapoli https://t.co/I9Y3iPxpCT

Just want to give a shout-out to @justicehealing for their #NoNewWomensPrison week of action.

The actions are very clear, easy to do, and impactful.

[#NoNewWomensPrison @PplNotPrisons]

We asked #NoNewWomensPrison supporters what they want to do with $50M instead of build a new prison
WE COULD SPEND $50 MILLION ON #HOUSING

[#NoNewWomensPrison @PplNotPrisons]

Housing was the biggest area identified by people today. That makes sense, because @justicehealing's Listening Tour asked women what they most needed immediately before incarceration. The top response was housing/money for housing. #mapoli

[#NoNewWomensPrison @PplNotPrisons]

In addition to housing, people want the $50M @MassGovernor has allotted for the prison used for youth jobs, community centers, and more. #NoNewWomensPrison

Proud to join our chapters @jpprogressives and @ProWRoxRoz in endorsing @realroborthman for the upcoming 10th Suffolk special election. #mapoli #bospoli

[Progressive Mass @ProgressiveMass]

This is such an important story, and it speaks to why we've seen so little action from Beacon Hill despite escalating rents and housing costs and widespread demands for action. #mapoli
