The Massachusetts Indigenous Peoples Day Bill has been extended in committee until June 30th. That means the bill is still alive and there is hope for it this legislative session. We need everyone’s help!
Please contact the State Administration and Regulatory Oversight Committee and tell them you want the Indigenous Peoples Day bill voted out favorably.
