| Dear Friends, I'd like to share with you a statement I recently issued regarding the recent presidential election results:
"Massachusetts may be the home of American democracy, but it is also the community we call home—and I take the responsibility to protect our community—and its residents—very seriously. In Massachusetts, we will always uphold the right to respectfully disagree, speak our minds, worship the way we choose, be our true selves, and love who we love.
We have faced an anti-democratic presidency before, and we responded by doubling down on defending reproductive freedom, protecting the health care of all our residents regardless of gender or gender identity, strengthening voter protections, and creating comprehensive climate policy to protect our state—and our nation—from the devastating effects of climate change. The Massachusetts State Senate stands ready to fight for the fundamental values our Commonwealth holds dear once again.
As we wait for our country to turn yet another page, we are reminded that Massachusetts is a Commonwealth—and we are all charged with the responsibility of caring for each other, regardless of background or political affiliation. We have been a leader and a model for our nation in so many ways throughout our long history. Now, more than ever, we must continue to be a light of democracy and justice for all."
As always, if my office can be of assistance to you or your family, please don't hesitate to reach out at karen.spilka@masenate.gov or call 617-722-1500. |
