This week Mass Union needs to raise our voices in support of four budget amendments in the Senate.
Today and tomorrow, please call or email your Senator and ask them to co-sponsor the following Amendments to the Senate’s version of the State Budget.
- Amendments #24 and #38 – increase the public housing Operating Subsidy from $117 million to $120 million
- Amendment #25 – increases funding for Resident Service Coordinators from $6.5 to $7.1 million
- Amendment #905 – provides $3 million for funding for Access to Counsel in evictions
Find your Senator’s contact information here. When you call or email let them know that you are a constituent. This means a lot!
Next week the Senate will debate these amendments and we will keep you posted and send you a link so you can watch the debate.
We’ve built a lot of power together over the past few years. Now, let’s make our voices heard!
Here’s what to do – Three Simple Steps!
- Find your State Senator here. Note that you do not need to contact your State Rep at this time.
- Email their office and ask them to co-sponsor all three amendments above. Use subject line: Protect Public Housing Residents in Your Community. You can copy and paste the list.
- Call the office to follow up. Ask to speak to a member of the staff. Remember, don’t be shy – their job is to hear your input!
