Say Shacoby's name.
During the holidays, I can’t help but reflect on our community members who are violently separated from their loved ones due to incarceration. As a State Rep in Massachusetts, it is my responsibility to fight on behalf of and alongside people who are harmed by the state.

Back in 2022, I was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with @sbworkersunited.org as Starbucks used violent and outrageous union busting tactics. Three years later, they are still using those same tactics. Starbucks is a global giant with massive profits.
