First, thanks to all who showed up in Springfield (and Boston) on Monday to protest Governor Healey’s new policies that will severely restrict shelter access for eligible families and threaten the safety of children and families. You can read about it here.
Next up: let’s MAKE CONTACT TODAY with the Governor’s office and legislators with this message:
“Reverse the plan to restrict access to family shelters because it will hurt children and families. Please work with families and communities to create more humane policies and take action to address the immediate housing crisis.”
