Introducing the Commonwealth Peace and Justice Agenda

The Massachusetts Peace & Justice Network has partnered with allied legislators to create the Commonwealth Peace and Justice Agenda, a set of bills to the Massachusetts state legislature concerning nuclear disarmament, transparency in politics, and the budget.
At this session, legislators will explain the bills they have filed and why they are important, and organizers will discuss the strategy to build support. Then, we’ll work together to make plans.
Speakers will include:
Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa – Nuclear Weapons and Climate Commission
Rep. Mike Connolly – Nuclear Weapons Divestment
Dr. Ira Helfand – Back from the Brink
Rep. Jay Livingstone – Moral Budget for Massachusetts
