Elections

This election year, the stakes have never been higher in the fight for reproductive rights and health care access, especially in the face of a possible future federal administration hell-bent on eliminating our rights. Massachusetts needs to remain a beacon of reproductive freedom and a place where everyone from across the country can turn to for care. That's why we must elect lawmakers from the Berkshires to Cape Cod and everywhere in between who will champion access to abortion, contraception, LGBTQ+ health care, and sex education.
