Free PCR testing is a vital safety measure that absolutely needs to be maintained. Tell Governor Healey that these vital sites must be kept open.
📢Tell @MassGovernor: Keep Stop the Spread Sites Open.📢 PCR tests are the “gold standard” of COVID tests, detecting infection earlier than rapid tests, and producing far less false negatives. We must preserve this free public service. #FreeFastPCR4All actionnetwork.org/letters/sa…

26 million people already applied for #CancelStudentDebt relief, and 16 million were approved before Republicans decided to play politics with people’s lives. Enough. @POTUS did his part. The Supreme Court must let the people receive this critical relief.

People with disabilities are treated as burdens simply for existing. Mr. Hugo's horrific comments are just the latest example. We'll have more to say in tomorrow's DPC update, so keep an eye out.
