Good afternoon, Massachusetts Advocates,

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We wanted to follow up and let you know the great news that both House Bill 4549 and Senate Bill 811, the Massachusetts So Every BODY Can Move bills, have been approved by the Health Care Financing Committee and moved to the next committee – Ways & Means. This is great timing and shows a clear positive trend! The Ways & Means committee is likely one of the most important steps in this process. A group of us will be hosting strategic meetings at the State House in early February and will request you to fill out our online campaign and reach out to your legislators at that time.
Stay tuned and happy holidays! We have much to be thankful for this year with all your support and positive momentum for this bill.
