Big #CJreform win! Gov. @maura_healey just signed into law the #nocostcalls bill, making MA the 5th state to allow incarcerated people to make phone calls FREE of charge. Before that, folks were paying $2.40 for a 20 min call. #KeepingFamiliesConnected
My statement on anti-immigrant demonstration at #Marlborough hotel - I condemn the expressions of hate by NSC-131, defined by @splcenter as a neo-Nazi group whose activities consist of protests & distributing hate literature. Hate has no home in Mass. senatoreldridge.com/official-state…

Some exciting wins in the FY 2024 budget passed by the MA House and Senate yesterday 🎓Tuition equity for all students regardless of immigration status 🍎Permanent funding for universal school meals 📞No Cost Calls #mapoli
Very excited to announce a critical policy provision that was passed in the #FY24Budget! All prisons & jails must provide telephone calls at no cost to incarcerated people & their families. BIG win! #mapoli
Thank you @JamieEldridgeMA for your advocacy for #cjreform! #mapoli

Hoping the Governor signs this expeditiously! For those confused, it's not actually law yet. We had some impacted folks in a community meeting of impacted people who were confused by this messaging, which makes it sound like it's the law already... #NoCostCalls

I'm incredibly proud to have voted for the FY24 final budget today! Below are 5 progressive victories in the budget including #SchoolMealsforAll, #TuitionEquityAct, #DataEquity for diverse communities, #NoCostCalls & eviction protections for tenants! TY budget conferees! #mapoli
BIG news! FY24 Budget just passed a critical policy provision: FREE phone calls for incarcerated individuals & their families! Families will no longer face exorbitant fees to connect with loved ones behind bars. #mapoli
This Friday, I will be visiting Souza Baranowski Correctional Center, MCI-Shirley, and MCI-Concord. If you have a loved one who needs a visit or to be checked on, please email their name and W# to [email protected].
On #cjreform front, as @MA_Senate chair of #Judiciary Cte & @CJReform_MA Caucus, I’m relieved #NoCostCalls is in FY24 budget - & we finally have @MassGovernor who supports it. Especially after incarcerated people’s testimony last week! MA is only 3rd state after CT & CA! #mapoli
Powerful, productive visit to MCI-Shirley prison today w/ several members of the #cjreform caucus w/ a tour of the #healthcare units where sick incarcerated men get their healthcare, mostly senior citizens. We received some extremely helpful feedback from the DOC on education too
As the Work and Family Mobility Act goes into effect today, I’m thinking about the activists, legislators and public safety officials who pushed mobility for all, regardless of immigration status. Our residents and roads will be safer because of you. Thank you, @DrivingMA4ward.
