Our GDCC April monthly meeting will be held in-person at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 12 at the Gloucester Fraternity Club, 27 Webster St., Gloucester.
Meet State Senator from the second Suffolk District and candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, Sonia Chang-Diaz. Sonia Chang-Diaz is a former public school teacher and the first Latina and Asian-American to serve in the Massachusetts State Senate-and she’s spent her career fighting for and winning bold change that working families need. Her accomplishments include writing, championing, and winning a landmark education funding reform to provide $1.5 billion in new aid to K-12 districts across the state. She also led the charge for criminal justice reform and repealing racist sentencing rules.
In addition, Maiuza Alves, GDCC Ward 2 Chair and advocate for immigrants living here on Cape Ann, will be joining us to explain and answer questions about The Work and Family Mobility Act which has recently passed the Massachusetts state senate. This bill will allow undocumented residents to get driver’s licenses in the state. In addition to her service to immigrants, Maiuza also sits on the Human Rights Commission here in Gloucester.
Our May meeting will begin at 7 PM with GDCC business items; and the speaker program at 7:30-8:45 p.m. Members and friends are welcome to attend.
The GDCC requests in-person attendee cooperation for Covid safety with proof of vaccination. Masks are welcome, but will not be mandatory.
