    Fighting corruption and inaction in the Massachusetts State House.

    Empowering constituents to hold their legislators accountable.

    Organizing to build a functioning democracy.

    What We Do

    Education

    • We keep the State House honest by monitoring legislative proceedings and identifying when key bills are killed behind closed doors
    • We publish our findings online so that constituents can more effectively take action for policies that they believe in

    Advocacy

    • We are advocates for public disclosure, transparency in lawmaking, and a democracy that is responsive to the voices of the many
    • We believe that a healthy democracy centers constituents and actively deemphasizes corporate interests

    Organizing

    • We believe that casting a vote for an elected official is only the first step in a participatory democracy
    • We also know that advocating for policies that our lives depend on is time consuming and daunting
    • Act on Mass creates campaigns for constituents to organize in their communities, trains community members, and organizes alongside them

    Cause Areas Include

    • Civic Engagement
    • Transparency & Oversight
