With Trump reentering the White House in January, right-wing federal policies could soon threaten the progress we’ve made in our state.

Join us in calling on Governor Maura Healey to do the following:

1. Call for a special session of the General Court as soon as possible: Call on the Legislature to reconvene in person for a special session in December to address the critical threat posed by Trump’s policies.
   

2. Create a State-Funded Legal Defense Fund: Establish a legal fund to defend our state’s progressive policies against Trump’s administration. This fund should support legal battles on issues like people's safety, reproductive healthcare, environmental protection, and civil rights.
   

3. Form Compacts with Like-Minded States: Please establish a regional compact with other neighboring blue trifecta states and also join the “Governors Safeguarding Democracy,” to create a united front showing that our values cannot be undermined by Trump’s administration.
   

4. Adopt “Race-to-the-Top” Standards: Lead the way with bold policies to continue to strengthen our labor,immigrant and voting rights, accelerate our clean energy transition, and address the cost of living. These policies not only benefit our residents but also set a national example, demonstrating that our state will stand firm against Trump’s regressive policies.
   

5. Utilize State Contracts and Investments to Support Our Values: Use our state’s economic influence to promote civil rights, environmental responsibility, and fair labor practices. By prioritizing companies that align with progressive values and refusing contracts with those that support Trump’s harmful policies, our state can send a powerful message of resistance.
