Earlier this week, Representative Pam Richardson of Framingham came under fire for a video in which she offers her support of voting rights in local elections for immigrants and in-state tuition rates and driver's licenses for the undocumented.
It is clear from the video that Representative Richardson's position is well researched and comes with the best interest of her district and its taxpayers in mind. Far too often, folks are completely unaware that all immigrants, including the undocumented, contribute millions of dollars to MA in the form of taxes and billions in sales; yet, they have no representation in the voting booth or access to most government services and benefits.
When politicians put their reputation on the line to support immigrants and their rights, it is essential that we thank them for their support. Please contact Representative Richardson to thank her for supporting the rights and opportunities of immigrants and citizens in her district and for standing up for what she believes in. Help drown out the hateful and divisive calls she has been receiving for promoting fairness and equality in our Commonwealth.
Rep. Richardson's Office: 617-722-2582
