The Massachusetts Legislature has thousands of bills to consider. Yet, most bills never even have a committee vote, never mind get to a floor vote. The power of the leadership of the legislature is extreme and it isn’t democratic. The legislature doesn’t work the way you were taught in your high school civics textbooks.
This Friday, March 24, Alex Marthews, National Director of Restore the 4th, will talk about how the Massachusetts legislature really works and how we can hack it to get our bills further.
It will be from 3-5pm at Encuentro 5, 9A Hamilton Place, Boston. Encuentro 5 is within easy walking distance of the Park St. MBTA stop. Hope you can make it.
Sponsored by the Massachusetts Pirate Party (masspirates.org). Many thanks to Encuentro 5 (www.encuentro5.org) for hosting it.
