Sal DiDomenico recently joined with Senate President Karen Spilka and advocates at the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless Legislative Action Day at the State House. Every year the Coalition hosts a Legislative Action Day, during which they hear from elected officials about legislation, share their stories and lobby for bills that would improve the lives of those experiencing homelessness in the Commonwealth. Senator DiDomenico served as a speaker at this year’s event, highlighting the many challenges that people experiencing homelessness face. “Approximately 43 people IN THE MUSIC HALL Friday, March 22 MARYBETH MAES BAND are evicted from their homes in Massachusetts every day … As a Commonwealth, we must do better to protect those who are economically at risk,” DiDomenico said, speaking about his right-to-counsel bill, which would make legal representation during eviction proceedings a right under Massachusetts law. Additionally, DiDomenico spoke about two other bills that he filled that would help those experiencing homelessness: An Act to lift the cap on kids and An Act to lift kids out of deep poverty. The Family Cap denies Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) to children who were born during – or soon after – their parents started receiving benefits. Because of this policy, 9,000 children in poverty do not receive benefits. An Act to lift kids out of deep poverty would increase benefits to families with children who qualify as living in “deep poverty.” DiDomenico participates in anti-hunger Advocacy 101 Training IN THE MUSIC HALL Saturday, March 23 TANGERINE Friday, March 29 Brian Maes 5:15 PLAYS Tim Archibald "Old" Tony DiPietro IN THE MUSIC HALL Saturday, March 30 KISS FOREVER Kiss Tribute Band 221 Newbury Street, Danvers For Tickets call (978) 774-7270 or www.breakawaydanvers.com Everett Aluminum 10 Everett Ave., Everett 617-389-3839 Owned & operated by the Conti family since 1958 • 57 Years! “Same name, phone number & address for family since 1958 • 61 over half a century.
