Birth centers/labor and delivery units are closing down across MA. Take a look at the maternity desert map in my story and you'll see the pattern. @GBHNews @Rep_Higgins @Meg4StateRep @JohnCronin_MA @WhipKClark wgbh.org/news/local-news/202…

These programs showed we can address #housing insecurity—this should continue everywhere.
Hotel-based #homeless shelters changed lives in pandemic. Some want them to be a model moving forward buff.ly/3xcsFc7 by @LMJolicoeur via @WBUR CC: @GerryMcCafferty @Rep_Higgins

We remember the 49 lives senselessly ended six years ago at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, and survivors traumatized by the horrific events of that day. We will never forget and stand with you always.

Today 5/3 marks how far into the year Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women must work to be paid what men were paid the previous year. AAPI women are paid 75 cents for every dollar paid to a white man. Together, we must all make a commitment to addressing the pay gap.

REMINDER: Abortion rights are codified in MA. YOUR Legislature passed the #ROEAct in 2020 to expand access.
Governor Baker vetoed the #ROEAct.
We voted to override his veto.
HT to the advocates @reproequity_now @PPAdvocacyMA @ACLU_Mass & residents who lobbied for action./1

Thanks @Rep_Higgins - this is great news. Borrowers should be protected. Student loan servicers have a terrible record of harming and deceiving borrowers.
