Fighting Trump & the oligarchy should go hand in hand with struggling for housing justice. Here in MA, that means fighting for #RentControl & opposing horrific cuts to emergency shelter for homeless families. Act now: homesforallmass.org/act

We support the #SafeCommunitiesAct because we need to protect our courthouses. ICE should not be able to interfere with a trial. #mapoli

We need rent control now! Tell your State Rep & Senator to co-sponsor legislation to end the statewide ban on rent control: actionnetwork.org/letters/rent... #mapoli #LynnMA
Rent control now!
Rent is too high! Our neighbors and families are getting pushed out of our communities by rent increases and eviction. Demand your State Representative and Senator cosponsor legislation to end the ban...

Trump is attacking the social safety net while scapegoating immigrants. It's hard to see how the MA state government's action to undermine the right to shelter for homeless families isn't following suit, particularly when the Governor's office feeds a narrative that scapegoats immigrants.

We are so glad Zeneyda is back home with her family. Lynn will stand together against the attacks by the clown in the White House and his minions. An injury to one is an injury to all!

The attacks by 🤡 Trump on immigrants & working class people are in the headlines. But did you know that #MA Gov Healey launched a new attack on our shelter system that threatens to harm homeless families & explicitly exclude people based on #immigration status?! TAKE ACTION: www.LynnUnited.org/act

Today — maybe more than ever — we need to take inspiration from the radical legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. On this holiday, as we prepare to rebuild a movement for justice, let's reflect on the ideas he put forth in his final years. #mlk
