MOAR - Massachusetts Organization for Addiction Recovery

MOAR - Massachusetts Organization for Addiction Recovery Our DEI Statement: MOAR is a voice for all people seeking the benefits of recovery.
(1)

Our Mission: To organize recovering individuals, families and friends into a collective voice to educate the public about the value of recovery from alcohol and other addictions. Our Vision: MOAR envisions a society where addiction is treated as a significant public health issue and recovery is recognized as valuable to all our communities. We are committed to doing the work necessary to address the struggles and inequities diverse groups of people face while seeking recovery services. Systemic racism, prejudice, and bias have been deeply ingrained in the history of the American health care system. MOAR is committed to work to create a collective voice for those seeking recovery for all people who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and oppressed.

We’re thrilled to invite you all to MOAR’s 20th Annual Holiday Celebration on Thursday, December 4th from 5:00–8:00 PM at Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA!
This special evening will celebrate recovery, community, and the holiday spirit — and we’d love to have you join in the fun.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1974978829845?aff=oddtdtcreator

This year, we’re adding two exciting contests to the celebration:

1. Ugly Sweater Contest (Individual Contest)
Dust off your tackiest, brightest, and most festive sweater! This contest is for adults only (no kids allowed), and one individual will be crowned the winner for their truly outstanding holiday style.

2. Holiday Caroling Contest (Center Contest)
Each Peer Recovery Support Center is invited to perform one full holiday song as a group. The center whose performance earns the loudest cheers from the crowd will win the prize — so bring your team spirit, creativity, and energy!

See you there!

MOAR showed up today. 💛

Our Director of Policy & Communications, Hannah Koepper, and Metrowest Regional Coordinator, Sunshine Scotty, testified in strong support of H.1913/S.1117 – An Act Relative to Treatment, Not Incarceration.

This bill still allows judges to require treatment — but crucially, it prohibits incarceration when the only violation is relapse and a person is otherwise engaged in care. It’s a commonsense, compassionate step that protects both public safety and human dignity in the Commonwealth.

There’s still time to make your voice heard!
Submit written testimony to the Joint Committee on the Judiciary:
House bills: Talia.Quinn@mahouse.gov
Senate bills: Christianna.Golden@masenate.gov

Let’s keep pushing for treatment, not punishment. 💛

The Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on Tuesday, November 18 from 1–5 PM in Room A-1 at the State House.

The Treatment, Not Incarceration bill (H.1913/S.1117) will be heard. This bill allows judges to require individuals to engage in treatment but prohibits incarceration for relapse when someone is actively working on their recovery.

We need your support — and your voice. Please spread the word!

It’s time to stop allowing courts to threaten or incarcerate people for exhibiting symptoms of a substance use disorder. Let's move toward treatment, not punishment.
