🚨 THIS is what we’ve been up against.

New reporting shows that Pfizer gave $500,000 to two organizations that later urged Massachusetts lawmakers to eliminate the religious exemption from school vaccination requirements.

While well-funded organizations were working at the State House to change Massachusetts law, Health Action MA was there fighting to preserve the exemption.

And we held the line.

8 years.
4 legislative sessions.
27 bills and amendments stopped.

That didn’t happen by accident.

Parents showed up. Our advocates showed up. Our team showed up. And because of your support, we were able to have professional lobbyists at the State House tracking legislation, building strategy, meeting with lawmakers, and responding when threats emerged.

But this fight is not over.

A new legislative session is coming, and our opposition is already preparing.

We don’t have deep corporate pockets behind us. We have YOU.

If everyone who believes this work matters gave just $5 a month, imagine what we could do.

$5. $10. $25. Whatever you can.

Your monthly support helps keep our lobbyists at the State House, our grassroots network mobilized, and Health Action MA ready for whatever comes next.

We held the line. Now we have to be ready to do it again.

For eight years and four legislative sessions, Health Action Massachusetts has held the line.

We have gone toe-to-toe at the State House with large, well-funded organizations advocating to eliminate Massachusetts’ religious exemption. And this article offers a glimpse into just how significant the financial disparity can be.

Pfizer’s own disclosures show substantial funding to organizations that later joined the coalition urging Massachusetts lawmakers to advance H.2554. That does not establish that Pfizer funded their advocacy on this particular bill, but it does show the kind of resources present in the broader vaccine-policy landscape.

And yet, after four legislative sessions, Massachusetts’ religious exemption is still here.

Health Action MA doesn’t have those kinds of resources. We have families. We have grassroots supporters. And we have people willing to stand with us.

We already know the next legislative session will require more from us than ever before. If we are going to continue this work, we need to raise funds like never before.

If you believe in the work Health Action MA is doing, please consider donating and helping us enter the next session ready. Whether a one time or a monthly donation, please donate.

We have held the line for eight years. We intend to keep showing up.

Is your child starting kindergarten in Massachusetts? 🎒

With recent changes and conversations happening at the federal level, many families are understandably confused about what those changes mean for Massachusetts school immunization requirements.

Health Action Massachusetts is here to help families understand what Massachusetts currently requires, what exemptions are provided under state law, and how the process works.

Whether you have questions about kindergarten immunization requirements, documentation, or medical or religious exemptions, reach out to us.
📧 [email protected]

Understand the requirements. Know the law. Learn the process.

Educational information only. Health Action Massachusetts does not provide legal or medical advice.

Our opposition isn’t waiting for the next legislative session—and neither can we.

They are already organizing and preparing for what comes next. We need to do the same.

Health Action Massachusetts is preparing now to continue the fight for parental rights, disability rights, religious exemptions, informed consent, and access to education in Massachusetts.

The relationships we build, the families we educate, the advocates we organize, and the legislative work we do now determine how strong we are when the next session begins.

Help us enter the next legislative session ready. Fund the fight.

Every donation helps ensure we have the resources to keep showing up, speaking out, and protecting Massachusetts families.
