Mission Statement
When our communities thrive, we all thrive. However, our communities will only flourish if we invest in them properly. That is why we must, especially in these challenging economic times, continue to stand up and invest in what matters: our schools, our health care, our drinking water, our parks, our roads, and our public safety systems. We at Ourcoumminities.org are dedicated to informing Massachusetts about what it means to invest in our communities and what could happen if we don't. Here's our plan!
Call to Action
Currently, we are working to pass resolutions supporting our call for more investment in communities across the Commonwealth. Take a look at a sample resolution and a guide to passing a resolution in your local community.
If you'd like to help pass a resolution in your community, please contact Andi Mullin at Andi@ourcommunities.org.
