We’ll be discussing the budget, itself – How big is it? What does it fund, and how much? Who decides what it is? – as well as budget focused activism, and, in particular, a ballot question many Massachusetts residents will get to vote on, this November: the <a href="http://budget4allmass.org/">Budget For All</a> referendum.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Michael Kane is a lifelong activist and community organizer, currently with the <a href="http://www.saveourhomes.org/maht/">Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants</a> (MAHT) and National Alliance of HUD Tenants (NAHT), the only national tenants union in the US since 1992. MAHT has helped tenants save more than 11,400 apartments in the state since 1983, one building at a time, and has spearheaded fights to save federal funding for housing from right wing attacks in Congress. MAHT joined with peace and labor groups to initiate the Budget for All referendum campaign earlier this year.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Molly Hannon is a working mother of two from Roslindale, and a long time tenant leader with the Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants, who helped lead the fight to save affordable housing at High Point Village (now Stonybrook Commons) and other at risk housing developments.
