Our 2023 Legislative Priorities
MLRI is pleased to present our priorities for the current legislative session.
We are leading, co-leading, or supporting several broad-based coalitions and working directly with community partners and fellow advocates from across the state to advance important priorities that address poverty and create a more just, fair and equitable Commonwealth for all.
From advocating for bills that promote housing justice, to increasing cash assistance for extremely low-income children and families, to ensuring that state agencies comply with language access laws, our policy agenda is focused on removing barriers to opportunity, promoting racial equity, and ensuring that every individual in our state lives in dignity and has every chance to thrive.
