@MABLLC @RepMichlewitz @RonMariano @Vote4gonzalez @KarenSpilka I am confident the House of Representatives will build on this achievement in the time ahead.

We have been working with the
@MABLLC since the summer months to forge legislation that promotes fairness and equality in policing.

@MABLLC @RepMichlewitz @RonMariano @Vote4gonzalez @KarenSpilka As I stated over the summer with Chair González, any legislation we pursue must take into account that the challenges we face are based in structural inequities and systemic, generational biases.

This year Massachusetts made investments prioritizing health, safety and economic security. Without federal action it will be difficult next year for states to protect the most vulnerable among us and insulate the economy. Congress must act. @KarenSpilka

The House will vote in favor of safeguarding women's reproductive rights in the Commonwealth at a time when they are under threat due to the new composition of the United States Supreme Court.
