Supporters of a proposed abortion expansion bill known as the ROE Act gathered via a Zoom call on Tuesday afternoon to stump for the measure, which has stalled in the Massachusetts Legislature since being filed in January 2019.
Four elected officials spoke. Only two were state legislators.
Polyamory is now officially recognized in Somerville, Massachusetts. But what about neighboring Cambridge, one of the other most progressive cities in the country?
Somerville's city council voted 11-0 on June 25 to approve an ordinance that would allow polyamorous relationships of three or more people that live together and "consider themselves to be a family" to receive domestic partnership status and benefits, as New Boston Post previously noted. The city's mayor, Joseph Curtatone, signed it into law on June 29.
