Coalition for Social Justice Speak Out

• Invest in our communities.  Fund essential public services that benefit middle and lower income families - Public Education, Local Aid, Higher Education, Elder Care, Homeless Shelters, Affordable Health Care

 We need to reform our flawed Mass. tax system.   Low and moderate income families pay a much larger share of their income for state and local taxes.  To keep our economy growing and invest in our communities, the highest income earners need to pay their fair share.      

• Help homeowners facing foreclosure keep their homes by having a chance to renegotiate their mortgage, with the help of a mediator and, if needed, in front of a judge. 

•  
• Pass legislation that would allow most workers to get paid sick days from their employers. 

• Reduce the national debt by cutting the military budget and taxing millionaires – not by cutting Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security.
