We talked to 2,269 MAHA-connected voters, giving them vital information about early voting, polling locations, and tracking their mail in ballots. We connected with hundreds of people who want to join our work to ensure development and lending in Boston reflects the needs of our residents. And we generated calls and emails to state representatives and senators asking them to redouble their efforts to move MAHA’s priority legislation.
