In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, there is a signature campaign going to get the $15 minimum wage (<a href="http://raiseupma.org/campaigns/the-fight-for-15/" class="">http://raiseupma.org/campaigns/the-fight-for-15/</a>) and paid medical and family leave (<a href="http://raiseupma.org/campaigns/paid-leave/" class="">http://raiseupma.org/campaigns/paid-leave/</a>) on the 2018 Massachusetts ballot. These issues are important to making the Commonwealth a more equitable place to live and work. </div><div class="" style="font-family: Optima-Regular;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Optima-Regular;">I’m collecting signatures to help get these issues on the ballot. A signature would be in support of putting these issues on the ballot and you would sign for each issue separately. To sign, you would have to be a Massachusetts registered voter. </div><div class="" style="font-family: Optima-Regular;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Optima-Regular;">If you would be interested in learning more about these issues or want to sign the petitions, please contact me. </div><div class="" style="font-family: Optima-Regular;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Optima-Regular;">Sincerely,</div><div class="" style="font-family: Optima-Regular;">Megan </div></body></html>
