Massachusetts Legislature
Strategies for Children draws on research, data, and the lived experiences of those working in early education and care, as well as families and communities, to shape our state legislative priorities. By listening to and elevating these real-world perspectives, we work alongside our partners to advocate for policy changes that lead to meaningful, positive outcomes for young children, families, and the Commonwealth. Learn more about how you can advocate with the Legislature.
Committees & Commissions
Committees are groups of legislators that hold hearings and make recommendations on bills related to specific issues. Commissions are formal groups composed of people outside the legislature, often acting as an advisory, investigative, review or oversight body.
