Raise Up Massachusetts is a grassroots coalition of community organizations, religious groups, and labor unions committed to building an economy that works for all of us. We’re focused on three issues of critical importance to working families in Massachusetts:
- Paid Family and Medical Leave
- $15/hr Minimum Wage
- Fair Share Tax
The Fair Share Amendment will be on the ballot in November 2018. This fall, we’re collecting signatures to put Paid Family and Medical Leave and a $15 minimum wage on the ballot as well, while continuing campaigns for both issues in the Legislature. The Belchertown Democratic Committee collected 120 signatures during the Belchertown Fair, but more work needs to be done. If you have an hour or two to volunteer gathering signatures at Stop & Shop contact Jim Walker at jwwalker60@gmail.com.
