I was thrilled to join the annual Regional Environmental Council Earth Day Clean Up!

Young people are leading the way when it comes to protecting the environment - it was great to join them, learn about the projects they're leading in their community, and talk about the work our office is doing.

Some good news this Earth Day: legislation that would protect Massachusetts consumers from the predatory & broken individual competitive electric supply industry is advancing.

Thank you, President Spilka, @senrodrigues, Senator Mike Barrett and Senator Crighton, for your leadership!

The Regional Environmental Council Earth Day was a success! 🌎♻️. In addition to cleaning up sites across the district Andrea Joy Campbell joined students from BWSP Upward Bound to discuss environmental justice, community advocacy, and youth engagement in the civic process #MAPoli #MALeg

Happy Earth Day!

We only have one planet - we must do everything we can to protect it for generations to come.

I'm proud to lead an office that works hard every day to protect our environment, combat climate change, promote clean energy, and hold polluters accountable.

“If it's a human being defrauding you or a system, both equally are seen the same under our laws in Massachusetts,” Andrea Joy Campbell said.

Our report on “competitive” electric suppliers reconfirms what we’ve long known: these companies profit off of exploiting consumers, especially consumers in communities of color and low-income communities. 
 
It’s time we pass legislation to stop them.

Today's discussion at UMass Boston on AI and my office's new advisory couldn't be timelier.

We've heard calls from industry leaders and consumers alike about the need for clear guidance on how our laws apply to AI - and today, we're making that guidance clear.

Meet Val from Community Servings!

Because of our Maternal Health Equity Grant, Community Servings has been able to expand their nutritional programs for pregnant folks and their families throughout and after pregnancy.

Marathon Monday carries so much weight for so many. It can be a day for unity and community. It’s also a painful memory of one of Boston’s darkest moments.
 
May we find strength in each other as we continue to heal and honor those we lost.

April is #SexualAssualtAwarenessMonth .
Current statistics show the prevalence of sexual violence across many communities and the work needed to prevent sexual assault and support victims and survivors.

Combating all forms of hate is a priority for me and my office - and when it comes to taking actions, we have a number of tools at our disposal.
