VICTORY! Today, the MA Supreme Judicial Court voted against the income tax cut ballot initiative moving forward toward the November ballot. It would’ve created a $5B budget hole and triggered massive cuts to local schools, healthcare and other public services.

Backroom deals for millionaires and corporations to cut schools and healthcare? Always a bad idea. Legislators should say NO to any deal on the Mass High Tech Council's and the Mass Competitiveness Partnership's reckless tax cut ballot questions. #NODeal #mapoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Pj...

The shutdown's over, but permanent cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, education, & other services still threaten MA. Yesterday, we raised umbrellas & called on our state leaders to tap into our $8.6B rainy day fund, & tax multinational corporations, to help prevent the worst of these cuts.

Federal Medicaid cuts "are expected to hit hard, particularly in poorer and rural parts of the state." But Massachusetts is not helpless — we can stop the cuts and protect healthcare for local families! www.wbur.org/news/2025/09...

Rural health care clinics in Mass. brace for Medicaid cuts
Hundreds of thousands of low-income Massachusetts residents could lose Medicaid coverage over the next 10 years — a result of the massive tax and spending bill President Trump signed in July.
