NEW: Analyzing statewide #mapoli election results, we found that electoral competitiveness remains at an all-time low and people of color continue to be underrepresented by similar margins. https://massinc.org/2020/11/25/diversity-competitiveness-remain-low-in-mass-politics/
For Massachusetts to move forward from this crisis we need equity in our leadership... write to HWM Chair Michlewitz or House Speaker DeLeo and ask that H. 4153 be brought to the House floor by the end of the year. @YWBoston CEO and President Beth Chandler
