Contact Your Legislators
Meet with your legislators on these important issues!
TIM invites you to participate in an important aspect of our work: educating our legislators. To ensure that legislators hear a diversity of perspectives and understand the public’s concerns about the Commission’s approach to addressing antisemitism, we are helping to organize meetings with legislators. We are meeting with as many of them as possible to educate them about inclusive ways to deal with the very real issue of antisemitism in MA within an antiracist, solidarity framework.
Whether you have no experience or if you are a seasoned advocate, we invite you to meet with your legislators! TIM is here to support you.
Sign up here so we can share the resources you need, including training opportunities, or connect you with other TIM members in your area. Once you have met with your legislator(s), let us know so we understand legislators’ positions and the questions they have at tinyurl.com/TIM-LegFeedback.
When meeting with your representatives, please share these resources TIM has created and compiled to help educate legislators on these important issues. You may also download and email these resources.
