Comrades:

As we discussed in tonight's chapter meeting, the Massachusetts Senate recently passed a bill to "reform" the police, and the bill will now move to the House. Senate Bill 2800 is lightweight at best, and fails to include some crucial points; for instance, it does not block police from using tear gas, which contravenes international law. Our comrades in Merrimack Valley DSA have drafted a statement opposing the bill (attached here). We are voting on whether we add our chapter to the statement. If you oppose adding our chapter to the statement, please respond to this email with the word "oppose" in the text. Voting will end at 9p on Saturday (7/19).

And for your calendars! The MA Ecosocialist Working Group is meeting on Sunday at 3p (zoom link here). Join up to discuss exciting work, including the campaign for a Green Stimulus in MA.

In solidarity,

Sid
