This fall MassBudget is hosting Envisioning Equity, a series of community conversations examining how our state budget can help build economic and racial justice in Massachusetts. The state budget, passed by the Legislature every year, is a statement of our Commonwealth’s values. How policymakers choose to raise revenue and what to spend that revenue on shows how committed we are supporting our people and our communities particularly those most affected by structural racism and disinvestment by both the public and the private sectors.

Join MassBudget and ACLU Massachusetts for a virtual conversation featuring exploring the state of the Commonwealth's police and carceral systems during COVID-19 and beyond. Featuring:
- Rachael Rollins, Suffolk County District Attorney
- Leon Smith, Executive Director, Citizens for Juvenile Justice
- Andrea James, Executive Director, Families for Justice as Healing
- Co-Host Rahsaan D. Hall, Director of the Racial Justice Program, ACLU Massachusetts
- Co-Host Marie-Frances Rivera, President, MassBudget

Join us for a discussion on voter suppression and misinformation: how to recognize it, how to overcome it, and how it impacts our communities.

Featuring: 

Jermoh Kamara, Census Update

Niko Yangjeli, Worcester City Clerk

Beth Huang, MA Voter Table

Matt Allen, ACLU of Massachusetts
