  • Protect Your Collective Bargaining Rights!
    PROTECT YOUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING RIGHTS! On April 26th, a majority of the members of the Massachusetts of House Representatives voted to dramatically restrict the rights of municipal employees to collectively bargain over the issue of health insurance. It is critically important that you let your Representative know how you feel about their vote. These Representatives voted IN FAVOR of your collective bargaining rights: Democrats: Geraldo Alicea Denise Andrews Bruce Ayers Michael Brady Paul Brodeur Thomas Calter Christine Canavan James Cantwell Tackey Chan Nicholas Collins Edward Coppinger Geraldine Creedon Mark Cusack Marcos Devers James Dwyer Lori Ehrlich Christopher Fallon Robert Fennell John Fresolo Denise Garlick Coleen Garry John Mahoney Paul Mark James Miceli Kevin Murphy Rhonda Nyman James O’Day Thomas Petrolati Denise Provost Kathi-Anne Reinstein Carl Sciortino Joyce Spiliotis Thomas Stanley David Sullivan Walter Timilty Timothy Toomey Cleon Turner Marty Walsh Steven Walsh Alice Wolf Republicans: Bradford Hill Daniel Winslow If your state representative stood up for you, it is important that you call them and thank them for their support.

  • 2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard
    Legislative Scorecard Votes and Leadership 2013-14 LEGISLATIVE SESSION - 1 - This is the inaugural edition of the Environmental League of Massachusetts legislative scorecard. We produced this scorecard to inform citizens about how their legislators voted on important environmental issues. We are pleased and grateful for the support of so many environmental leaders in the legislature. The scorecard relies first on roll call votes on legislation that deals with environmental and energy issues. Because there are so few roll call votes each session—and often these votes are unanimous—we have scored additional actions by legislators to further distinguish environmental champions. Bonus points were awarded to legislators who introduced bills that were ELM priorities or who introduced important amendments, particularly budget amendments to increase funding for state environmental agencies. In addition, we subtracted points for legislators who introduced legislation or amendments that we opposed. We want to recognize leadership and courage, in addition to votes, and have made every attempt to be fair and transparent in our scoring. Much happens during the legislative process that is impractical to score such as committee redrafts, committee votes to move or hold a bill, and measures that would improve flawed legislation. We have not attempted to include these actions, but we recognize that they greatly influence the process and outcomes. None of the bills or amendments scored here should be a surprise to legislators in terms of ELM’s support or opposition. Going forward, ELM will include votes and other actions that support additional revenues for transportation and promote transit, walking and biking. George Bachrach, President Erica Mattison, Legislative Director Highlights of the Session projects.

    UPDATE THE BOTTLE BILL YES! I pledge to help. The Bottle Bill (5¢ deposit on some beverage containers) is the single most successful recycling tool in the country. But the Updated Bottle Bill­­—adding water, juice and sports drinks to the deposits—is being blocked by powerful business interests on Beacon Hill. The Updated Bottle Bill (H890/S1650) will reduce litter, increase recycling, and save cities and towns money in trash disposal and litter cleanup. In fact, 208 cities and towns, 375 small businesses, and 90 state and local organizations have endorsed our campaign and joined the effort to pass this bill. Despite this overwhelming support, the Updated Bottle Bill has been “bottled up” in the Legislature for more than a decade. It has never been brought to the floor for a vote, and we need your help now. No more delays! Here’s how you can help: STEP 1: To find out the name of your representative and senator, go to www.WhereDoIVoteMA.com STEP 2: Find out where your legislators stand on the Updated Bottle Bill. See the back of this flyer for a complete guide. STEP 3: Call your state senator and representative today. The State House main number is (617) 722- 2000. Ask for your senator (and then call back and ask for your representative). Tell them: “I am a voter in (name your town) and I support the Updated Bottle Bill. There should be no more delays, this bill needs to come up for a vote now.” (If your legislator supports the Updated Bottle Bill, make sure to thank them, if they are undecided or not supporting the bill, ask them to consider supporting the bill.) STEP 4: After you call, please email [email protected] to let us know your legislator’s response.

    The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State House, Boston, MA 02133-1053 April 7, 2020 David L. Bernhardt, Secretary U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington DC 20240 Dear Secretary Bernhardt, We are deeply dismayed and disappointed with the Department of the Interior's recent decision to disestablish and take lands out of trust for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe on March 27, 2020. Not since the mid-twentieth century has an Interior Secretary taken action to disestablish a reservation. This outrageous decision comes as we mark 400 years since the arrival of the Pilgrims in 1620 and recognize the People of the First Light who inhabited these shores for centuries before contact. The Department’s capricious action brings shame to your office and to our nation. Your decision was cruel and it was unnecessary. You were under no court order to take the Wampanoag land out of trust. Further, litigation to uphold the Mashpee Wampanoag’s status as a tribe eligible for the benefits of the Indian Reorganization Act is ongoing. Your intervention was without merit and completely unnecessary. The fact that the Department made this announcement on a Friday afternoon in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates a callous disregard for human decency. Mashpee Wampanoag leaders were focused on protecting members of their tribe, mobilizing health care resources, and executing response plans when they received your ill-timed announcement. As you are well aware, the Department of the Interior holds a federal trust responsibility to tribes, which includes the protection of Native American lands.

  • Letter to Restore Asthma As a Co-Morbidity for COVID-19 Vaccines
    February 12, 2021 February 12, 2021 Governor Charles Baker State House, Room 280 24 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02144 Secretary Marylou Sudders Executive OfFice oF Health and Human Services 1 Ashburton Place, 11th Floor Boston, MA 02108 Dear Governor Baker and Secretary Sudders: We write today to urge you to restore moderate to severe asthma to the list oF illnesses which constitute a co-morbidity For COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration purposes. The CDC currently lists moderate to severe asthma as an illness that could present an increased risk For “severe illness From the virus that causes COVID-19” (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need- extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html). In 2019, Springfield was described as the nation’s number one asthma capitol by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (https://www.aafa.org/asthma-capitals-top-100-cities-ranking/). We believe the erroneous removal of moderate to severe asthma From the Massachusetts list oF eligible co-morbidities for phase two of the vaccination distribution must be revisited, especially when it is such a common experience among residents in the Commonwealth. Our own Massachusetts Department of Public Health has been engaged on multiple Fronts with combatting asthma in the Commonwealth, including community-based and medical interventions. Prioritizing asthma as a co-morbidity is a public health and racial equity issue. According to the MDPH, the “prevalence of current asthma in Massachusetts was higher among Black, Non-Hispanic adults than White, non-Hispanic adults.” (https://www.mass.gov/service-details/statistics-about- asthma). We recogniZe the importance oF addressing the disproportionate impact of moderate to severe asthma on black and brown communities in the Commonwealth and request that it be prioritized For vaccine distribution as a COVID-19 co-morbidity.
