<h1>Keep Hate Out of Our State! Say NO to S.2061!</h1>
<p>S.2061 is a bill currently under review in the Massachusetts State House that seeks to criminalize immigrants in our state and deny essential services to hardworking, taxpaying families. The bill's lead sponsor, Sen. Richard Moore, calls the bill an "Act to Enhance Community Safety." This title hides the truth of the devastating impact S.2061 will have on our communities.</p>
<p>The bill will:</p>
<p>Undermine community safety and legalize racial profiling</p>
<p>Criminalize workers' and their families</p>
<p>Ban families from accessing public housing</p>
<p>Deny equal access to higher education</p>
<p>Massachusetts is not Arizona or Alabama. We cannot let this anti-immigrant, anti-worker bill pass.</p>
