As a proud alum of Sec. Perkin’s alma mater (Mount Holyoke) I love to see a bill enacting vital equity in labor named for the Secretary. TY Christine Barber for your leadership!!!

Thank you Andy X. Vargas for supporting public art & Beyond Walls for your work on these installations! Our team is so excited to enjoy Haverhill's new murals!

Ps...we've got a bill to make it easier for cities & towns to invest in public art👉🏽mcan-ma.org/take-action/ce…

Real talk: I love my job most every day but today felt great. SO MANY advocates turned out in person & online for these bills. Working for a stronger & more equitable creative sector is my passion so when I get to be w/ lawmakers and residents who share that passion? THE BEST ❤️

On Monday, 9/18 from 10 AM - 1 PM, the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts & Cultural Development is holding a hybrid hearing at the State House including the Creative Space Preservation Act & the PLACE Act. Now's our time to show support for these bills!

Spotify just suggested I listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Dear sir: 9:30 AM is too early for FREE BIRD! #ISaidWhatISaid
