Join Our Round Table

We are here because we believe that the Massachusetts State House needs change:
major change -- progressive change.

We are here because we believe that change comes from building power.

We are here because we believe that there are two types of political power that we need to develop: Grassroots power and Decision Making Bodies power: power in neighborhoods, streets, and community organizations, and seats in the State House in many dozens of districts.

We are here because we are committed to developing both our grassroots power and our State House power. 

After decades of lobbying followed by inaction, we believe we must change the rules, financial incentives, and culture of the State House; to do that we must replace many of the current state reps.

We are here because we are ready to work together in a progressive movement that challenges the status quo at the State House.  

We believe that this movement needs to reflect the needs of the people of Massachusetts, especially those least served by our government, and should be led, constituted, and represented by:

• Black, Indigenous, people of color, and of diverse cultures including recent immigrants

• Women, men, and non-binary people, promoting gender equity and diversity

• Working folks and working families and the organizations that represent and defend them

• Renters and others who do not have large assets or generational wealth

• Environmentalists and environmental justice activists and organizations

• People of all ages with strong participation of youth

We believe the people of Massachusetts are ready for progressive change. We believe if the public knew what was going on at the State House, they would demand change. 

We are here to be that change, by amplifying each other’s issues, educating the public about our broken State House, and inspiring Bay Staters with a vision of what we could achieve if the State House truly represented the people.
