Protecting the People and
Sovereignty of Massachusetts

At historic times, Massachusetts has been a beacon of justice, equality, and compassion. Our Commonwealth’s strong anti-discrimination laws protect every resident from harm and bias. These protections reflect our deepest moral values and our belief in the dignity of every person.

Right now, federal actions — including rollbacks of rights, targeted enforcement, and threats to use federal forces — could harm whole communities here. Massachusetts must respond with courage and clarity.

What it means to protect civil rights

  • Treat every person with dignity

  • Care for our neighbors who are most at risk

  • Keep Massachusetts strong, safe, and welcoming for all

We have a proud legacy of moral courage and bold action here in Massachusetts.

That legacy calls us to rise again.

We are calling on Governor Maura Healey to take bold public executive action to:

  • Defend our state sovereignty

  • Keep our protections strong

  • Block fear-based, discriminatory policies

  • Stand for fairness and the common good
