SUMMARY:Election Day Registration Hearing at State House
DESCRIPTION:Election Day Registration Legislative Hearing \n\nJoint Committee on Election Laws \nThursday\, June 20\nHearing starts at 1 p.m. in hearing room A-1 \nMassachusetts State House\, 24 Beacon Street\, Boston\n\nDemonstrate that Election Day Registration has broad public support. Please join us and our partners in the Election Modernization Coalition when the Joint Committee on Election Laws holds a hearing on Election Day Registration (EDR) Thursday\, June 20. Wear a League pin or shirt if you have one; we’ll have EDR stickers for you. Email Nancy Brumback if you can come. \n\nIf you can’t be with us at the State House\, please call or email your Senator and Representative now and tell them you want to see Election Day Registration in Massachusetts. Contact information is here. And share this action alert with others who are interested.\n\nIf you or a family member has been turned away from the polls or had to cast a provisional ballot because of an error in your registration\, consider testifying about that experience. We will help you. Contact Nancy Brumback. If you can’t testify\, please share any such story when you contact your legislator.\n\n\nEDR Talking Points\n\n\nElection Day Registration is a proven and common-sense election reform; 21 other states already offer it.\nElection Day Registration allows voters to fix problems with their registration. In states where it is offered\, 70% of those using EDR are already registered to vote but encounter a snag with that registration when they go to vote.\nElection Day Registration will make election administration easier in the long run by reducing the need for provisional ballots.\nElection Day Registration is supported by the Secretary of the Commonwealth.

SUMMARY:ROE Act Hearing at the State House
DESCRIPTION:Joint Committee on the Judiciary  Hearing on the ROE Act\nAn Act to Remove Obstacles and Expand Abortion Access\, S. 1209\nROE Act Legislative Hearing\nJoint Committee on the Judiciary \nMonday\, June 17\nHearing starts at 1 p.m. \nVolunteer arrival times: Noon\, 3 p.m.\, and 6 p.m. \nMassachusetts State House\, Gardner Auditorium \n24 Beacon Street\, Boston\nRSVP here\n\n\nIt’s time to be heard on abortion rights in Massachusetts! Anti-abortion forces are loud\, persistent\, and spreading misinformation. Your voice is needed to counter them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you cannot be at Monday’s hearing\, you can still take important action to support this bill. Legislators are being bombarded by the anti-abortion side. They must hear from constituents who support this bill.\n\nPlease call or email your own Senator and Representative this week or Monday; contact information is here. Tell them you support H.3320/S.1209\, the ROE Act\, and you hope they will urge the Joint Committee on the Judiciary to report the bill favorably for a vote. Even if your legislators already support this bill\, it is critical that they hear from constituents who are in favor of the bill to offset the anti-abortion blitz. It only takes a minute. Please take this action now.\n\nROE Act Talking Points\n\n1. The ROE Act protects the health\, safety\, and privacy of young people. The ROE Act eliminates the requirement that teens obtain permission from a parent or judge to access abortion. This process causes teens to delay care or travel outside of the state\, and is opposed by the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.  Massachusetts has one of the most restrictive parental consent laws in New England. Teens go to Vermont or New York\, which do not have parental consent laws.\n2. The ROE Act ensures medical decisions remain between patient and doctor. The ROE Act expands access to abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy to include cases of fatal fetal anomalies when the fetus will not survive. The current law allows abortion after 24 weeks only to protect the mother’s health. Someone needing to end a pregnancy in the case of a fatal fetal anomaly must travel to another state.\n3. The ROE Act leads the way in ensuring equitable access to abortion. The ROE Act establishes safety net coverage for abortion for people excluded from MassHealth. Such coverage already exists for all other pregnancy-related care.\n4. The ROE Act brings our abortion laws into the 21st century. The ROE Act reforms outdated state laws by removing medically inaccurate language\, abolishing medically unnecessary abortion restrictions like an unenforced 24-hour waiting period\, and codifying the principles of reproductive freedom into state law.\n\nFor additional information on the bill from Planned Parenthood\, click here.\n\nA recent statewide survey of nearly 2\,000 registered voters\, conducted by MassINC\, found that 78% of voters (and 72% of Catholics) support a state law to guarantee a legal right to abortion. In addition\, 76% of all voters (and 75% of Catholics) support adding an exception to the ban on abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy to protect a woman’s health or in cases where there is a grave fetal anomaly. Voters want Massachusetts to be a model for other states and the country; 85% of voters agree that Massachusetts should be a leader in ensuring that a woman who has made a decision to get an abortion is able to get safe\, supportive\, respectful care in her community.\n\nWith the right to safe and legal abortion at risk nationwide\, it is important to do all we can in Massachusetts to expand and protect access. Come to Monday’s hearing if you can. Contact your legislators and tell them you support the ROE Act. Forward this email to your network.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
