Day on the Hill Energizes Our Beacon Hill Advocates

On April 15, 450 education advocates from the Cape to the Berkshires came together at our Day on the Hill to meet with 82 legislators and aides to call for relief, reform, and innovation in public education. 

In her evaluation, one participant wrote:

“I found the program energizing and inspiring and I was reminded just how much the need truly varies throughout the state. This really IS a statewide issue.”
