Mass Alliance to Reform CORI (MARC)

MASS ALLIANCE TO REFORM CORI (MARC) invites you on Thursday, November 3rd at 6:30 to Haley House in Dudley Square (Roxbury, MA).

In the past 3 months MARC's work resulted in:

  • City of Boston passed an ordinance requiring all entities doing business with the city (50,000 employers!) to adopt fair CORI hiring practices or their contracts will be cancelled!
  • City of Cambridge unanimously passed ordinance (similar to Boston) requiring city vendors to adopt fair CORI hiring practices
  • Boston City Council unanimously passed a CORI Reform Resolution urging the state legislature to reform CORI
  • Development of MARC locals in Brockton, South Boston, Chelsea, Amherst, and cities and towns across the state
  • Organized a major conference bringing together legislators, social service provider and folks with CORI to lay groundwork for statewide campaign...


SO, WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE? Join us on Thursday night and help develop and become part of the strategy that will win CORI reform!
