Benefits of Membership

The number one benefit in joining the ONE Massachusetts network is becoming part of a movement to rebuild the public’s confidence in government by promoting a positive vision of government as the place where we come together to address challenges that none of us can take on alone. We are rebuilding, restoring and repairing our public structures that educate our children, make our neighborhoods safer and stronger, foster economic opportunity for workers and small business owners, protect our environment and support other core elements of a civil society. In addition to being part of this movement, you will:

1. Connect with a broad range of community activists and organizations that share the ONE Massachusetts vision.
2. Be able to comment on the ONE Massachusetts’ website news blog.
3. Access professional development opportunities including how to sharpen your advocacy skills and your ability to talk about government in a way that promotes your policy priorities as well as a positive vision of government.
4. Become eligible for a “Train the Trainers” workshop after which you’ll be comfortable sharing your new knowledge about budget and tax policy with your community and personal networks.
5. Be able to stay on top of current public debate on state revenues and funding streams.
