Constituent-led tax and social insurance reform
The Massachusetts unemployment insurance system was not ready for 2008. It was not ready for 2020. Fiscal and social crises will happen again. Our plan creates a social insurance safety net that will be there for families and their children during the next crisis. The federal government supplemented benefits this time around; because of the ever increasing polarization of the country, federal help may not be there in the future. Massachusetts needs to create a program that works for families now.
