When worker’s rights are under attack, what do we do?

This election is about more than the office of Attorney General.   John, this election is about more than the office of Attorney General — this is a fight for the working people of Massachusetts. Big corporations like Lyft and Uber are coming in and spending millions to exert more contr…

Rallying for reproductive justice

We must always protect abortion rights

And I will always build on and protect this critical right.   John, By now I’m sure you’ve heard the news. A leaked draft decision shows that the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. If true, this is among the Supreme Court’s most disgusting decisions in history. Overturnin…

Proud to be fighting for workers

Happy May Day!   John, As the 133rd anniversary of International Workers' Day comes to a close, I’m taking some time to reflect on the history of the labor movement and my role in it. The first International Workers' Day came about in 1889 to commemorate the Haymarket Affair — an incide…

Legalization is only the beginning.   John, Today, on 4/20, I want to take a minute to talk about marijuana and how we can do better for the people of Massachusetts. Legalizing marijuana is not enough to undo decades of harm caused by the racist and unjust war on drugs — our communities…

MA needs an Attorney General who knows how to use the law

Dear friend,  Workers of all ages deserve to feel safe and protected at work. What they don’t deserve is being called “dinobabies” who should be fired and made an “extinct species”. The Boston Globe reported earlier this week that IBM top executives referred to older employees as “dinobabies” in a…
