MassBudget has provided the research, analysis and advocacy necessary for the achievement of critical policy advances including: passage of the Fair Share Amendment, which is estimated to bring in approximately $2 billion dollars to education and transportation needs annually, boosting take-home pay for low-income families through Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) increases, improving the Child and Family Tax Credit, and playing a substantial role in the passage of the nation’s most progressive K-12 education funding bill – the 2019 Student Opportunity Act.

MassBudget, with partners and policymakers, works to advance racial and economic equity in the Commonwealth by helping to:

1 Fix our upside-down tax system so we can invest in a way that tackles systemic racism and classism.

2 Create an antiracist state budget by investing in quality education, affordable housing and health care, improved transportation, and vibrant communities.

3 Guarantee economic security for all by directly combating the extreme and unsustainable levels of inequality the Commonwealth is facing.

4 Build an inclusive democracy by providing research and training on the state budget and taxes, so everyone can be informed and united in creating needed change.
