This is the moment we've been working toward! Join the Coalition for Healthy Democracy at the Secretary of State’s Office at the steps of the MA State House as we officially submit our signatures to the Secretary of State.

Nearly 100,000 Massachusetts voters signed to get this on the ballot because they believe our democracy should work for all of us, not just the politically powerful. Together, we've built a movement demanding more competitive elections, real choices, and a government that answers to the people.

Be part of history as we deliver these signatures and launch the next chapter of our campaign. This is a celebration of the people's power and a rallying cry for the work ahead.


Details:

Join us at 12:30 PM at the State House steps for a rally featuring esteemed speakers like Danielle Allen, before we take our signatures inside for formal delivery at 1:00 PM.

After, join our team and like-minded supporters for a social in the food court at 1 Asburton Place until 3 PM.
