We’re three weeks away from 2018. Maura’s ready to run and we need to be ready for her.
Next Tuesday evening in Boston, we’ll be hosting our final event of the year. Maura needs you there.
The key to being successful in 2018 is exceeding our fundraising goals in 2017. We need to maximize our support now to be able to get Maura’s message out around the state, to empower the grassroots and to beat back the deep-pocketed special interests eager to knock her out.
Last week, Politico Playbook named Maura to its influential “18 to Watch in 2018” list.

On Tuesday night, join us at Cultivar on Court Street in Boston at 5:30 p.m. for our big end-of-year celebration. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/20171219_cultivar

Please come up to Boston for it if you’re able. The day will be spent advocating for Senator Cyr’s single payer benchmark bill and Senator Eldridge’s Medicare for all bill. The Senate is also taking up an omnibus health care reform bill next week – and Senator Cyr is working hard to have his single payer benchmark proposal (which is a proposal Senator Wolf had made previously) added to the bill. That omnibus bill is online here. It is being taken up this Wednesday and Thursday. And comes after the senate just recently passed a bold and comprehensive criminal justice reform bill. Lots of progressive action going on right now.
