Friends! Come join us at Beacon BLOC Friendsgiving on November 19th. This will be a casual potluck for current and former staffers to eat, mingle, and talk about their experiences in the State House and beyond.

It can be done because it *is* being done. You can’t pick and choose when to legislate your values. Solidarity to MA State House Employee Union (MSHEU) from NYS. We got your back #1U

We have seen these same maneuvers tried in the halls of Congress. Simply put, workers can’t wait.

MA State House Employee Union (MSHEU), we standing in unwavering solidarity with you. This fight isn’t over! #1u

Proudly wearing my MA State House Employee Union (MSHEU) pin during session today with my friends Sonia Chang-Díaz and John F. Keenan.

Employees deserve to have a voice at their workplace, and we will keep fighting until every worker has that opportunity – including right here in the State House.

Absolutely unconscionable that as staff are currently working basically 24/7 because of a manufactured sense of urgency due to poor political leadership, that same poor political leadership is telling them their labor doesn’t matter.

@KarenSpilka should be ashamed of herself

Together we will fight to the finish #StafferSolidarity #mapoli

“When we (@beaconbloc) laid out our demands for a more inclusive State House, we have only ever asked State House Leadership for collaboration and to follow through on their promises after the murder of George Floyd to center and follow the lead of Black voices.” -Mark Martinez

Today I got to stand in front of that vaunted Golden Dome alongside friends and labor leaders in support of MA State House Employee Union (MSHEU) and on behalf of Beacon BLOC

These are the most dedicated public servants I’ve ever met, and they deserve a seat at the table. #1u

Attendees will include:

- Mass AFL-CIO ✊ President Steve Tolman
- Darlene Lombos of Greater Boston Labor Council - GBLC
- Ari Fertig of the NE Jewish Labor
- Katie Murphy of MNA
- Mark Martinez, former staffer and founder of Beacon BLOC
- Mike Monihan of IBEW

When we organize, we win. Today, the MA State Senate finally announced the rollout of livable wages for all Senate staff. However, the fight for recognition and a seat at the table in our workplace continues.

State House Employees deserve a union.

This is your reminder that interns in the MA State Senate and MA House still are not paid for their labor despite previously allocated budget funding for this very purpose.

Legislative leadership should take President Biden's lead and pay MA State House interns. #mapoli Beacon BLOC

Senator Warren, you are a champion of labor and have made that clear from day one. We are humbled and grateful for your support. Beacon Hill and Capitol Hill workers are better off #UnionStrong . #mapoli #1u #MALegSolidarity IBEW 2222 (Boston) Congressional Workers Union

From Capitol Hill to Beacon Hill, every worker deserves the rights and protections that come with a union.

Proud to stand in solidarity with MA State House Employee Union (MSHEU) and State House staffers as they organize for a more fair & equitable work environment.

Organizing is a long game. Grateful today (and EVERY DAY) for all the work maia•she/hers puts into making Beacon Hill safer for staffers of color. She and Beacon BLOC were instrumental to getting our union to where we are today. Thank you ✊🏿✊🏽 #MALegSolidarity #UnionStrong #mapoli

This report shows how the failure to prevent evictions reinforces structural racism. Evictions do tremendous harm to working class & lower-income people of all backgrounds but disproportionately impact the communities of color hit hardest by the pandemic.
