Faced with a surge in migrant arrivals, Massachusetts lacks the resources to provide temporary housing for everyone coming here.
The state's emergency shelter system was housing about 5,600 families as of last week, 80 percent more than it was housing one year ago. That's on top of the more than 1,800 families the state is housing in hotels and motels, according to State House News Service.
The Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus released its endorsements for 2023, highlighting the need to elect more women to office who also support legal abortion.
"The election of this class of pro-choice women is paramount to upholding reproductive rights in Massachusetts and bringing gender parity to our government," the caucus said in a press release published by State House News Service. "We can never have too many women in office, especially right now."
