Operating under the radar screen, without a lot of fanfare, people are organizing politically to get legislation passed to help struggling families. The Bush/16 years of Republican governors rule have hurt many people, and the Coalition Against Poverty/Coalition for Social Justice have been in the forefront of the fightback. Fresh from several important victories on the minimum wage and health care, the Coalitions are currently organizing around CORI reform and the parameters of the new health care packages. This work epitomizes the belief that many people know that something is wrong, but they don't know how to fight back. The Coalitions provide effective leadership and often get their goals met. A well respected force in Brockton, Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton, and the Cape, the Coalitions have been able to bring like-minded people together in effective campaigns. We'd be glad to talk about it. Thanks. There is a burgeoning grassroots movement in southeastern Mass. and your show should cover it.
