I grew up in farming country, and now spend a great deal of my time selling the produce of grape and grain farmers.

This Saturday, please join us for a very special event. We welcome back Akin Bak Farm, with all the flavors of fall, Incontro Restaurant, with Italian-inflected specialties, George Schwartz of Kimera Imports, and Corey Bunnewith of Inspired Beverages. Killer lineup, not to be missed!

Try something new. A spiadina. Or a calzone. Sip a little Amarone. Or maybe Nero d'Avola. Sample a Chai Toddy, Fig-Pumpkin Sour, or Orchard Cocktail.

Celebrate Farmers. Celebrate the Harvest. Celebrate Fun.

Free. Fun. See you Saturday.

MassBudget: Safe Time Policies for Survivors of Domestic and Sexual Violence



  MASSBudget     




Earned Paid Sick Time and Safe Time Provisions:
Supporting Survivors of Violence and Abuse
To protect their physical and economic security, survivors of domestic and sexual violence sometimes need to take time off from work to address health and safety issues. A growing number of earned paid sick time laws in several cities and states give employees the right to take time off when needed. MassBudget's new fact sheet "Earned Paid Sick Time and Safe Time Provisions: Supporting Survivors of Violence and Abuse," examines safe time provisions and their implications on survivors of violence and abuse.

To read the fact sheet please click HERE.
 


The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) produces policy research, analysis, and data-driven recommendations focused on improving the lives of low- and middle-income children and adults, strengthening our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life in Massachusetts.
