MCAN - Massachusetts Communities Action Network

MCAN - Massachusetts Communities Action Network MCAN-a network of nine faith & values based affiliates working for racial equity & economic justice.

MCAN partners at the nationally with Faith in Action, which is also a 501c(3). We are non-partisan and do not endorse or support candidates for office. For our current campaign, Massachusetts Faith Voices, we are working with the Raise Up Massachusetts coalition to raise the minimum wage in MA to $15/hr, and to ensure the right to earn up to five sick days per year for all MA workers. This would r

aise the wages of 600,000 workers, and gain sick time for 1 million. Massachusetts Faith Voices is bringing in congregations and denominational groups across the state to help make the words of the prophet Isaiah that "they shall not labor in vain" (Isaiah 65:23) a reality. MCAN (Massachusetts Communities Action Network) is a a federation of community improvement organizations across Massachusetts working for social and economic justice by putting our religious faith values and our democratic values into action. MCAN is an affiliate of PICO, a national network of faith-based community organizations working to create innovative solutions to problems facing urban, suburban and rural communities.

MCAN's Haitian Clergy Team leaders were out in full force and faithful power to share in the signing of the Protect Act by Gov. Maura Healey.

"Wednesday was a historic day in the Commonwealth with the signing of the Protect Act. It was truly an honor to bear witness to the culmination of an extensive journey starting with the voices of community members, legislators, business leaders, educators and clergy all with the goal of protecting the most vulnerable in our community. While work remains to ensure these protections are far reaching and more permanent, this is a start in the right direction and for the courage and boldness of our governor and legislators we say thank you." - Pastor Emmanuel "Manny" Dapnis, Restoration Church in Brocktom and a Faith Leader with MCAN's Protect Our People Campaign and Member of the Haitian Clergy Team

Pastor Keke Fleurissant, Rev. Isaac Cupidon, Pastor Manny Daphnis and Pastor Jean JM Louis are pictured with Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll as well as with Rep. Andy X. Vargas, Sen. Liz Miranda, State Senator Pavel Payano, and Rep. Dan Cahill

Gov. Maura Healey signed the Protect Act today after the House and Senate Chambers worked to find the way forward to protect all Massachusetts residents from federal overreach. This is the bold, public, executive action MCAN faith leaders began calling for nearly a year ago. The Protect Act, as described by the Governor and lawkers, provides the strongest immigrant protections in the country.

We'll share more from our faith leaders in the room today and a breakdown of what the law makes possible in the coming days.

Thanks to the team at La Colaborativa for hosting this morning's signing.
