Voting day for state primaries is just around the corner!  Progressive Massachusetts has endorsed in five races in the upcoming state primaries on Thursday, September 8. and our endorsed candidates need your help!

When Progressive Massachusetts supports progressive candidates in primaries, we are doing two important things for the long-term movement –

Making the legislature more progressive, so we can get more legislation passed

Building the bench of progressive leaders who someday can run for even higher office

Do your part this weekend.

Information is below on how to help our five progressive endorsees:

- Monica Cannon (events in Roxbury)
- Mike Connolly (events in Cambridge)
- Pat Jehlen (events in Somerville, Cambridge, Medford)
- Jack Lewis (events in Framingham, Ashland)
- Moses Dixon (events in Worcester)

And don’t forget to donate to our candidates if you haven’t already!

Remember, your time and dollars go much further in state legislative races — and you’re investing in the movement long-term.
