“People are continuing to get sick and to die from COVID,” said Carlene Pavlos. “For that reason, the state can't stop its work to continue promoting testing and vaccination. COVID is not over...but we are at a different stage.” #mapoli #healthequity www.wbur.org/news/2023/03/15/massachusetts-governor-healy-ends-vaccine-mandate-state-workers

It's not too late to raise your voice! Contact your State Senator this morning & ask them to cosponsor amendment #12 by Senator Pat Jehlen to the supplemental budget. This amendment will extend Chapter 257 protections & prevent unnecessary evictions. #mapoli actionnetwork.org/letters/dont-let-eviction-protections-expire

Extending Chapter 257 through July 2024 would keep thousands in their homes.
As MLRI's Director of Community Driven Advocacy, Andrea Park, told @ditikohli_, “Why would we allow people to become homeless, when a check is in the mail?" #mapoli https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/1640707449035407360
Just over two years after it took effect, Chapter 257 will soon expire, meaning that landlords will once again be able to evict renters even if they’re trying to tap financial aid. https://trib.al/leLQkWE
Great piece in @telegramdotcom by @AmieShei_THFCM on why WRTA buses should continue fare free. #Publicltransit "connects people to essential jobs & services, so we must invest in it as a public good that directly impacts the health...of communities."
Shei: Keep WRTA buses fare-free
While waiting for the state budget to be finalized, the WRTA should use available federal CARES Act funding to continue the extension for free fares.
