We called over 620,000 voters in Boston’s Black and Brown neighborhoods.
We sent text messages to over 300,000 voters and engaged families.
We conducted countless one-on-one check-ins with our people and made sure that they were okay, connecting them to services while also connecting them to advocacy in their voice.
That work was strengthened by the support of the Massachusetts Democracy HUBS.
I’m Mimi Ramos, and I’m with New England United 4 Justice, one of the anchor organizations for the Democracy HUBS here in Massachusetts. Our work at New England United 4 Justice is centered around grassroots organizing – and specifically, using it to build civic power in low-income communities of color in Boston.
The Democracy HUBS invest in community organizing efforts like ours, all across the state. They help us educate and provide tools for organizers to make maximum impact. And we are relying on their continued support.
That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. Joe Kennedy and Groundwork Project are strong allies of our efforts. I’m personally asking you to help us reach our goal of raising another $25,000 to close our budget gap. Contribute now.
We’re looking at 2022 and all the challenges that lie ahead: COVID and economic relief, growing food insecurity throughout MA, engaging impacted communities on redistricting and educating on it’s importance, as well as other critical issues.
In this “off” year, we’re not slowing down. We’re planning to reach 100,000 families and hold 100,000 one-on-one conversations across our network to conduct a community assessment and learn about the most pressing priorities for the people we serve.
Your contribution will power this critical work. It will bring more Black and Brown communities to the table and provide the space for their voices to be heard in Massachusetts politics. Donate now.
We don't wait to do civic engagement just during an election season. We do civic engagement year-round because that is what it takes for things to actually change.
We believe in the power and strength of collaboration. We believe in alliance-building as a means to build collective power with organizations that share our values. That’s what the Democracy HUBS make possible in Massachusetts, and I’m so grateful that Groundwork Project is supporting this work.
Can we count on you to help us keep going?
Thanks,
Mimi
