    From: Kelly Raghavan <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2020 11:17 PM To: Testimony HWM Judiciary (HOU) Subject: Virtual testimony re: SB 2800 Dear Chairman Aaron Michlewitz & Co-chair Rep. Claire Cronin: My name is Kelly Raghavan. I am a resident of Lincoln, MA and a member of March like a Mother: for Black Lives. I am writing this virtual testimony to urge you to pass SB.2800 the Reform, Shift, Build Act in its entirety. It is the minimum and the bill must leave the legislature in its entirety. I support this bill because I believe it is vitally important to change the way law officers police people of color in our state and in our country in general. This bill bans chokeholds, promotes de-escalation tactics, certifies police officers, prohibits the use of facial recognition, limits qualified immunity for police, and redirects money from policing to community investment. I urge you to ensure that all aspects of this bill are intact. We are in a historical moment and this bill ensures that we in Massachusetts meet the demand of this movement. Thank you for your consideration of your request to give SB.2800 a favorable report. Sincerely, Kelly Raghavan Lincoln, MA From: Reza Akhtar <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2020 11:17 PM To: Testimony HWM Judiciary (HOU) Subject: Reform, Shift, and Build Hello, My name is Reza Akhtar, and I am a resident of Boston, MA. I am writing to encourage the Massachusetts House of Representatives to pass the Reform, Shift, and Build Act (S.2800).

  • The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State House, Boston, MA 02133-1053
    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.

  • CHAPA 2021–2022 State Legislative Agenda
    CHAPA’S 2021-2022 STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES Everyone in Massachusetts deserves the opportunity to live in a safe, healthy, and affordable home in the community they choose. By focusing on the production and preservation of affordable homes, equitable planning in all of our cities and towns, and prosperity of our neighbors and communities, we can begin to undo discriminatory policies and barriers that have perpetuated segregation and hindered generational wealth-building for decades. With these legislative priorities, we can help our state recover from the impacts of COVID-19 while moving forward on long-term solutions to the affordable housing challenges we faced before the pandemic. PRODUCTION & PRESERVATION An Act relative to housing production (H.1448/S.871) Sponsors: Representatives Andy Vargas and Kevin Honan & Senator Brendan Crighton This legislation will increase the production of affordable homes, remove restrictive zoning barriers, and proposes innovative solutions for land use in Massachusetts by: • Setting a statewide affordable housing production goal • Requiring multi-family zoning around public transportation or other suitable locations in all municipalities • Allowing inclusionary zoning bylaws to be enacted with a simple majority vote • Allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to be built by-right in every muncipality • Examining how underutilized commercial properties can be used for housing • Prioritizing state-owned land for affordable housing An Act restoring the Commonwealth’s public housing (H.1417) An Act leveraging additional resources for local housing authorities (S.872) Sponsors: Representative Kevin Honan & Senator Brendan Crighton Decades of underfunding has left Massachusetts at risk of losing our public housing. This legislation will help restore the state’s public housing by allowing housing authorities to leverage new and additional resources for rehabilitation and redevelopment projects.

  • Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance
    Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance Campaign Finance Activity by Candidates for the Massachusetts General Court 2018 INTRODUCTION This study examines campaign finance activity undertaken by candidates for the Massachusetts Senate and House of Representatives (known collectively as The General Court) in calendar year 2018. The Office of Campaign and Political Finance has issued a report of this type after every state election since 1990. The information contained in this legislative study is based on data compiled from campaign finance reports electronically filed by candidates and treasurers of political committees organized on behalf of candidates for the Massachusetts Senate and House. In 2018, 377 candidates sought legislative office and filed disclosure reports with OCPF: 76 running for 40 Senate seats, and 301 seeking one of 160 House seats. Legislative candidates and their committees are required to file three campaign finance reports disclosing election year financial activity. The reports are due with OCPF eight days prior to the state primary election; eight days prior to the November general election; and in January of the year immediately following. Reports were due from the candidates in this study on Aug. 27, 2018, Oct. 29, 2018, and Jan. 21, 2019. Candidates and committee treasurers are required to disclose their account balances at the beginning of each reporting period; receipts and expenditures for the reporting period; in-kind contributions for the reporting period; and all liabilities. OCPF has taken steps to ensure that the information contained in this study is accurate as of the time of its compilation in 2019. This study takes into account many corrections, additions or deletions made by candidates as a result of any review conducted by OCPF or amendments filed by candidates or political committees.

  • Massachusetts Coalition for GMO Labeling
    Massachusetts Coalition for GMO Labeling A collaborative project of MASSPIRG, Mass Right to Know GMOs, MoveOn.org and NOFA/Mass More than 90% of Americans support labeling genetically modified foods (commonly referred to as “GMOs”). Yet while some grocery chains, like Whole Foods, have pledged to label their store- brand products, for the most part consumers are still left in the dark. Labeling GMOs shouldn’t be the exception—it should be the law. Here are 5 reasons why: 1. The science is still out. There is no scientific consensus on the safety of genetically engineered foods, and documented environmental risks include the promotion of “superweeds, superbugs1.” 2. They’re designed for increased pesticide use. 99% of GMO crops are designed to withstand increasing applications of herbicides, to produce their own pesticide, or both. Chemicals herbicides like RoundUp have been linked to serious health impacts2. 3. Everyone else is doing it. Sixty four countries require GMO food labeling3. 4. There’s little independent testing. The federal government does not perform or require independent safety testing before genetically engineered foods wind up on store shelves4. 5. It’s a basic consumer right. We should know what’s in the food we eat, what we are feeding our families, and what kind of agriculture we're supporting with our food purchases. Genetic Engineering Transparency Food and Seed Labeling Act, H.D. 369 Chief sponsors: Representatives Ellen Story and Todd Smola, Senators Joan Lovely and Bruce Tarr 1., 2., 4.
