Preparing to Weather the Storm: Progressive Revenue Solutions for Massachusetts
📅 Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026 | ⏰ Time: 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM
📍 Location: Zoom (link sent with registration confirmation)
Join MassBudget as we present a new toolkit of over 20 progressive revenue options to address looming state fiscal challenges.
With the federal administration slashing funding for state-administered safety net programs, Massachusetts is expected to lose billions of dollars over the coming few years for programs like SNAP and MassHealth, harming hundreds of thousands of people across the Commonwealth. Hear from local, state, and national experts as MassBudget leads a discussion about the challenges Massachusetts faces, what can be learned from other states, and options for home-grown revenue solutions.
