We are concerned with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, school lunches, education, housing, veterans’ health and more. Each meeting we share relevant information among ourselves, and work on informing a wider audience about how individuals and communities are being impacted by federal legislation and executive orders. We are action oriented and welcome new project ideas. The team recently organized a rally on Social Security in Springfield, Massachusetts, submitted a petition to the Massachusetts Attorney General regarding Social Security disruptions, and members regularly attend safety-net-related and other protests around Western Massachusetts. Our meetings are biweekly, mainly on Zoom.
