Raise Up
Massachusetts is a coalition of labor, faith & community organizations working to improve economic and social justice in MA We are residents of Newburyport, Amesbury, Newbury, Salisbury, Rowley and nearby towns working together to support the campaign for the Fair Share Amendment. The Fair Share Amendment would amend the Massachusetts Constitution to create an additional tax of four percentage points on annual income above one million dollars, so only those with the highest incomes would pay a little more. The revenue of approximately 1.5 - 2 billion would be for public education, public transportation, and road/bridge infrastructure. We have already won Paid Family and Medical Leave, $15 Hour Minimum Wage, Earned Sick Time, and Covid Emergency Paid Sick Time for Massachusetts workers.
