On October 10, 2024, the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute with La Colaborativa and the Access to Counsel Advisory Committee hosted a celebration to mark a major victory.
After years of tireless advocacy by the Coalition with support from Lead Sponsors Senator Sal DiDomenico, Representative David Rogers, and Representative Mike Day and the Healey Administration, a dedicated line item for the Access to Counsel pilot program is now included in the FY25 Budget. The event commemorated the hard work that made this achievement possible and set the stage for planning the coalition's next steps. |
