Thanksgiving has come and gone, now tens of thousands of public employees will enter December not knowing how they will provide for their families throughout surges in home heating costs and the stress of the holidays. The legislature needs to fund their contracts today! #mapoli

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Coming out to your family, your friends, or even just yourself takes courage. Wherever you are on your journey, never doubt that you are welcome, loved, and celebrated in Massachusetts 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Building on the Past. Ready for the Future. The Massachusetts AFL-CIO just elected brand new leadership! Welcome President Chrissy Lynch and Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Brousseau, along with a dynamic Executive Council consisting of leaders from all industries #unionstrong

The Massachusetts House and Senate chairs have filed the state budget—which is $56.2 billion.

Let’s see what’s in it. Follow along with this thread. #mapoli

Why would the Walton family and Charles Koch fund the National Parents Union? MassPolProfMo has the answer.

Yes on 1 this Election Day! We’re getting out the vote in Medford and all across Massachusetts for ⁦Yes on 1 For a Fairer Massachusetts⁩. For our schools, for our roads and bridges, for a livable future.

We don’t agonize, we organize. With @edmarkey we’re organizing everywhere in Massachusetts for the next TWO DAYS to get Question 1 across the finish line.

Polls close in 55 hours. Time to go.

I’m headed to Medford today 11/6 at NOON to help get out the vote for ⁦Yes on 1 For a Fairer Massachusetts⁩. For our students, for our communities, for our future. Let’s help pass Question 1! mobilize.us/fairshareamend…

Reminder! Use this handy tool to see if you'd pay a single cent more in taxes when we pass Question 1.

You might already know the spoiler: unless you're a millionaire, you won't.

REMINDER: We're hosting an Educators and Allies for Fair Share and Safer Roads rally and canvass with Ayanna Pressley, AFT Massachusetts, & Massachusetts Teachers Association THIS SATURDAY at the union hall! We're ALL IN to vote yes on questions 1 and 4. Join us at 1 p.m.!

Bridges are deteriorating, roads are literally crumbling underfoot, students are struggling, schools are scraping by with too little, graduates are staggering under decades of debt, and millionaires aren't paying their fair share in taxes.

What can you do about it?

✅ Question 1 raises $2B a year for public education, roads and bridges.
✅ It will not impact 99 percent of home sales.
✅ It holds politicians accountable.

Vote YES on Question 1 so all of our families can thrive.

See you Saturday 11/5 at the BostonTeachersUnion as we make calls and canvass for the “Fair Share Amendment”. #YesOnOne ! Yes on 1 For a Fairer Massachusetts Ayanna Pressley AFT Massachusetts

It's our LAST TV AD. We have one week left to pass Question 1. It's all hands on deck.

Billionaires tried to scare us into backing down. But educators, parents, students, roads workers, business owners, public transit riders, and drivers are together to vote Yes on 1.

The @bostonglobe is Yes on 1.

“A yes vote would move Massachusetts a step away from the unfair income tax system created in 1915 and toward a fairer Commonwealth that’s capable of making the investments it needs.”

Only the richest make over $1M in taxable income in a single year. Only the priciest 1% of mansions and vacation homes would be affected by Question 1. Only the richest pay—not the rest of us.

And it's only the richest billionaires + their lobbyists who are lying about that.

Do you make $500 an hour or $20,000 a week or $1 million a year?

If you're part of the 99% of us who don't make that much, your taxes stay exactly the same with Question 1. Only millionaires pay more.

Labor and community out strong today saying YES on 1 and 4 Yes on 1 For a Fairer Massachusetts Yes for Safer Roads 🚗. Thank you Maura Healey Ayanna Pressley and @AndreaForAG for inspiring the crowd. Wah Lum Malden and Area 51 brought the energy. #SolidarityForever

Earlier this morning, MTA President Max Page and Vice President Deb McCarthy joined Ayanna Pressley, Maura Healey, local community and labor allies at a rally and canvass to pass Yes on 1 For a Fairer Massachusetts and Yes for Safer Roads 🚗 🧵⤵️⤵️
