She joined Allyson Pinkhover from the Brockton Neighborhood Health Center, Wadezah McCullough from the Department of Health and Human Services with the City of Brockton, and Mary Shannon Thomas, an independent consultant for agencies and organizations in the housing and homelessness services sector.

🗳️ Massachusetts voters: Get informed before Election Day!

The November 3, 2026, ballot includes nine statewide ballot questions that could impact our communities and the future of Massachusetts.

MOAR has put together a resource outlining each question to help voters understand what’s on the ballot and make informed decisions.

Take a look, learn about the questions, and make your voice heard!

📢 Update from Clean Slate MA

There is still an opportunity for Massachusetts to pass Clean Slate legislation in 2026.

Here’s a quick update on where things stand:
The MA Senate included a Clean Slate provision in its version of An Act Relative to Economic Development in the Commonwealth (S.3178). The House version of the bill does not currently include the provision. Because the House and Senate versions are different, a six-member Conference Committee is working to reach an agreement and create a final version of the bill.

What is Clean Slate?
Right now, people who are eligible to have certain criminal records sealed must go through a manual process. This can be difficult to navigate. Clean Slate would create an automatic process for sealing certain eligible records after the required waiting period.

Interested in learning more or having your voice heard?

Clean Slate MA is asking folks to contact their State Representative and State Senator and ask them to connect with members of the Economic Development Conference Committee about including Clean Slate sealing in the final bill. Learn more: https://www.cleanslatema.org/

MOAR is sharing this information as part of our commitment to policy education and keeping our community informed about issues that affect people and families impacted by addiction and recovery.
