Dear 
Greetings!

  

BSAC students are excited to be working with organizations across Boston and the State to demand that the state invest in local communities.

 

With the Campaign for Our Communities coalition, BSAC is organizing with Boston Youth Organizing Project, The Boston Teachers Union, the YOUNG Coalition, YMORE, the Boston City Council, and over 100 other groups, to raise awareness, conduct trainings, and speak to state legislators about the need to increase tax revenue to go towards education, local infrastructure, and expand economic development. 


Campaign for Our Communities and Governor Patrick have put forward proposals that raise adequate new revenues, while making our tax system simpler and fairer for every Massachusetts resident.

 

Both plans will hold down increases for low- and middle-income families, ask the wealthy to pay their fair share, and raise the revenue we need to ensure that Massachusetts has a bright future. Leadership of the House and Senate are deciding whether to support these historic proposals SOON!

 

What YOU can do!!
