I hope you’ve all been basking in the election results this week! Before we look ahead, I want to take a moment to thank all of our incredible volunteers this election cycle. Because so many of you had conversations with your neighbors about transparency and accountability, local stipend reform ballot questionsreceived an average of 82% support across the House districts where they were on the ballot. These numbers send a clear message: the Beacon Hill status quo needs a serious shake-up.
If you’re looking for your next thing post-election, a place to channel that blue wave energy, or a way to build on the good government momentum, look no further than the Every District Accountable Campaign!
Between now and February, we’ll be organizing across the state to push elected officials to adopt structural reforms that make the State House work for everyone, not just wealthy donors and corporations. Ahead of the February House Rules vote, we’re organizing around four key reforms:
- Adopt a Single-Subject Rule to limit reliance on omnibus bills.
- Close the loophole on public committee votes.
- Guarantee at least 72 hours to review legislation before it comes to a vote.
- Reinstate eight-year term limits for the Speaker of the House and Senate President.
And to make this happen, legislators in every district need to hear from you.Fostering a productive relationship between constituents and their elected officials is essential to a healthy democracy. Voters should be able to trust that their interests are being represented in the State House, and provide good-faith feedback when their representative’s voting record doesn’t reflect that. We are invested in building that culture through sustained, grassroots organizing across the state, and we hope you’ll be a part of it!
