SUMMARY:Safe Communities Act Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:We’re 18 months into the COVID-19 pandemic and 9 months into a new federal administration and the passage of the Massachusetts Safe Communities Act ( S.1579 and H.2418) is more important than ever. Ending police and court involvement in deportations remains an urgent public health and public safety priority in Massachusetts. Join us for a virtual town hall to hear from immigrant workers\, immigrant survivors of domestic violence\, and advocates about why the passage of the Safe Communities Act is essential and what you can do to take action.
