Conventionalized signs of affluence, models of beauty, "educational" articles on topics ranging from the history and significance of ties ot correct behavior at a first-class estaurr ant filled the pages of magazines intended to provide an accelerated course in etiquette, appearance, and appurtenances for Russia's newly wealthy.

  • 2018 MA Election Results and Investments
    2018 MA Election Results and Investments Here in Massachusetts, our progressive Blue Wave was led by trailblazing Maria’s List-endorsed women of color like Ayanna Pressley (MA-7), Rachael Rollins (Suffolk County District Attorney), Nika Elugardo (State Representative - 15th Suffolk), Tram Nguyen (State Representative – 18th Essex), Maria Robinson (State Representative – 6th Middlesex), and Liz Miranda (State Representative – 5th Suffolk). As we celebrate our victories, we also know that there is still work needed and victories to protect. While an all-time high of 28.5% of Massachusetts State House seats will now be held by women (up from 26% in 2017), women of color will only hold 2.5% of legislative seats, no change from 2017. We won the Yes on 2 (Money Out of Politics) and Yes on 3 (Defend Transgender Rights) ballot fights but lost Yes on 1 (Safe Patient Limits). And, we helped legal aid attorney Tram Nguyen defeat incumbent Republican State Rep. Jim Lyons – Massachusetts’ own version of smaller Donald Trump – in a resounding victory, flipping a tough district from red to progressive blue. Undoubtedly though, she will have a tough re-election battle in a 2020 presidential year when turnout is high in both parties. Led by our Deep Democracy giving framework, we at Maria’s List will continue to invest – with early money – in the synergies: in bold, progressive women of color candidates, in the grassroots organizations lifting up these candidates and in progressive ballot initiative work.
