Mass needs to lead the way on EVs.
Tell Gov Healy to resist pressure from GOP and automakers.
Massachusetts and 10 other blue states have passed a consequential rule, the Advanced Clean Cars (ACC II) requiring automakers to provide increasing percentages of electric vehicles to Massachusetts consumers starting in 2026. This transition to clean cars is essential for improving air quality, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and getting more affordable EVs onto the market. Now the Trump administration, automakers and the fossil fuel lobby are pressuring governors, including Maura Healy, to delay implementation of the ACC II. Tell Gov Healy that Mass must protect our environment and proceed with implementation of this important clean vehicle rule.
Call to Sen.Barrett: Protect Transgender Rights!
Protect Access and Privacy for gender-affirming health care.
One of Trump’s first executive orders prohibited federal support for transgender care for anyone under 19; and a new HHS report questions research-based, AMA-endorsed gender-affirming care for minors.
Massachusetts is fighting back with new legislation to protect gender-affirming health care providers, patients, and advocates across the commonwealth. Ask your senator to join the state department of public health, the ACLU, GLAD, and many others to support Senate Docket 2808.
Help Immigrants Get Legal Help.
Donate to organizations providing FREE legal services to immigrants in Massachusetts.
Among Trump’s many unconstitutional and inhumane actions, deporting immigrants without due process is at the top of the list. Those in immigration court are not guaranteed a lawyer. Let’s help them.
Support free legal services for asylum-seekers and detained immigrants in Massachusetts by making a donation to one of these excellent organizations:
- Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) gives free legal help to immigrant and refugee children who come to the United States without a parent or legal guardian.
- Political Asylum/Immigration Representation Project (PAIR) provides free immigration legal services to asylum-seekers and immigrants unjustly detained in Massachusetts.
The ANTI Voting Rights Bill – AKA the SAVE BILL.
No passport? No birth certificate? NO VOTE!
Only 1/2 of Americans have a passport. Birth certificates are difficult to find or access. Most women’s surnames change when they marry. Under the SAVE Bill, voting would be blocked for lack of required documents. No more registration by mail or online. Voter registration drives not allowed. All true if SAVE passes.
Help legal organizations suing to defeat the SAVE bill by donating.

Can Trump really do that? Legal Remedies Must Be Employed!
Support, Democracy Forward, a powerhouse legal organization.
The Trump administration is drowning us with egregiously illegal acts that threaten our Constitution. They will try anything for unlimited power and worry about challenges later but ONLY IF WE LET THEM!
Many of their policies are poorly conceived and can be successfully challenged. Let’s call in legal organizations to tackle these challenges. There are 200 pro-democracy judges since 2021.
Let’s engage Democracy Forward to work with them to pull back our Constitution.
