We are the Campaign for Our Communities, a coalition of
community organizations, labor unions and faith organizations
working together to strengthen the Commonwealth’s economy
and to improve the quality of life for Massachusetts families. To

Holds down tax increases for low- and
middle-income families
Uses new revenues for a broad array of services,
not just transportation

after five consecutive years of enormous deficits, which means
that any cuts you make this year will come on top of already
dramatic spending cuts.
We respectfully suggest that you look toward a solution that
