PAMELA EDWARDS
"Don't Just Take It--Take Charge!"

Massachusetts Senior Action Council (MSAC) was founded in 1981 to promote
the rights, well-being and dignity of all people, particularly vulnerable
senior citizens. It is a democratically run membership organization, open to
people of all ages, with over 2500 members statewide. MSAC has a proud
history of effective community organizing and legislative advocacy on health
care, housing, transportation and other issues. It is known for turning out
large numbers of members to public rallies, hearings and press events. MSAC
is a dynamic grassroots activist group, fighting for social and economic
justice, that just happens to be led by seniors.

Pam Edwards has worked for MSAC since 2005. She is the community organizer
for three of its ten active chapters: Cambridge, Metro North and North
Shore. Prior to moving to Massachusetts, Pam served for nine years as a
local union president. She's enjoyed working in coalition with other
progressives on local and state campaigns that have greatly improved
people's lives.
