The formal legislative session for the MA State House ends Sunday, July 31.

The clock is ticking, so urge your state representative to take action on the following:

• Protecting tenants by ensuring that Section 135C (HOMES Act) from the Senate economic development bill, which would create a process for sealing eviction records, remains in the final conference committee report
• Upholding No Cost Calls language from the budget that would end the predatory practice of charging incarcerated individuals and their loved ones for phone calls, and rejecting Governor Baker's attempt to block this important victory and force the Legislature to pass his proposal to weaken due process protections
• Passing the Recommendations of the Special Commission on Facial Recognition Technology, because Massachusetts needs tighter rules around the use of face surveillance technology in order to protect our civil liberties and community safety
• Safeguarding MA's gun laws in the wake of recent Supreme Court ruling
• Speaking up for the State House Employee Union and calling for the necessary steps to ensure that they are duly recognized as a union and able to collectively bargain
• Not giving the final word on any legislation to Governor Baker and calling for a special session if need be to do right by the Legislature's accomplishments
