Great day today as @MassGovernor signs #ollieslaw! I’m so grateful to @repashe and everyone who helped get this important legislation over the finish line 🐶

America has had few greater advocates for women and reproductive health than Cecile Richards.
Her legacy will be the countless lives she touched and the generations of women she inspired to follow in her footsteps.
I'm thinking of her family and friends today and holding you close to my heart.

We know you may be terrified and worried – but we’re here for you, your families, and your communities. This is not over. Planned Parenthood has never backed down from a fight — and we won’t, ever.

Ruff day at the office 🐾
Ollie's Law makes sure that when we drop pets off at a kennel or daycare, they’re protected. Thank you to Amy Baxter, and the advocates and legislators who helped make our state safer for all our residents, including our four-legged ones.

What a great day for animals in the state of Massachusetts. I’m so grateful to Kara Holmquist, Melissa Ekvall, and everyone at @MspcaAngell @MSPCAAdvocacy for shepherding this bill for over three years!
UPDATE: @MassGovernor signed Ollie's Law today, and we are thrilled! Ollie's case and others across the state have demonstrated the need for standards at dog daycares and boarding facilities—something that will help protect animals, consumers & employees of those facilities 1/

Great news!! Ollie’s Law–a measure that would require reasonable rules and regs for doggie daycares and boarding facilities–is heading to @MassGovernor's desk! The law is named after a sweet dog who died from injuries sustained during a fight between dogs at a daycare 1/

Two different visions for America.
ALT President Biden’s Plan - Lower health insurance premiums permanently - Keep kids covered under Medicaid - Let Medicare negotiate drug prices for at least 50 drugs every year - Cap out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for everyone - Cap Medicare cost-sharing at $2 for common generic drugs - Protect and strengthen Medicare for generations - Cap insulin at $35 a month for everyone House GOP’s Plan - Raise health insurance premiums - Take guaranteed health benefits away from 30 million kids enrolled in Medicaid - Get rid of Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower prescription drug costs - Eliminate the $2,000 out-of-pocket prescription drug cap for seniors - Give massive handouts to Big Pharma - Slash Medicare - Repeal the $35 a month insulin cap for seniors

Happening now! #OlliesLaw Coalition is holding a press briefing on the Grand Staircase of the MA State House before its Joint Committee on Municipalities+Regional Gov hearing. Help us urge legislators to take action to prevent future injuries + fatalities at boarding facilities. – at Boston, MA
Thank you @MspcaAngell and @MSPCAAdvocacy for advocating for the passage of #OlliesLaw in today’s @BostonGlobe argument section
