Making civics real
Every year, Center for New Americans invites local legislators to visit classes. Students ask questions about housing, healthcare, transportation, and education. Legislators respond by sharing what legislation they are currently working on. Everybody wins: legislators hear directly from constituents about their concerns; our students learn how accessible our W. Mass delegation is to them.
Here are some pics from recent visits by Rep. Mindy Domb, Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa, Rep. Natalie Blais and Senator Jo Comerford.
