And … ORDER YOUR “Pass These 4 Bills in MA” POSTCARDS to share with your friends …
This is ridiculous!
We’ve been asking for YEARS for the MA Legislature to pass 4 bills we need to protect our immigrant, trans and pregnant community members. They are:
Safe Communities Act – Keep local resources focused on safety, not ICE.
Dignity Not Deportation – End Trump’s cruel deportation pipelines.
Location Shield Act – To protect our privacy from bad actors who want to track immigrant, trans and pregnant people.
Corporate Fair Share Act – To ensure corporations pay their fair share to fund the things that keep us safe.
Here at the Freedom Writers, we’re strapping mad that they still haven’t done it yet. We want action now, for crying out loud!
So we’ve created a different kind of postcard campaign: We call it the “Pass These 4 Bills Postcards” campaign. We designed the postcard below, and we want EVERYONE in Mass to not just use these cards to write to their own 2 MA Legislators, many times, if necessary, but also give the postcards to as many MA residents as you can, so they can write them too.
Share them at Farmer’s Markets, action group meetings, church gatherings and stand outs … anywhere MA residents with beating hearts come together. (ORDER HERE)
Here’s the postcard front and back:
When you ORDER THEM, please make a donation to cover the cost of sending them to you. We’re trying to provide them to as many people as possible at cost.
Each packet of the “Pass These 4 Bills” postcards will come with complete instructions on how to find the addresses of your 1 MA Senator and 1 MA Representative and send it to them.
We plan to continue providing these postcards until all 4 of these bills are passed.
Let’s MAKE THIS HAPPEN, Massachusetts!
Thank you for helping us save our democracy.
