Rally with us for our biggest advocacy day of the year!

Meet us at the State House, where you'll hear from human services workers, the people we serve, and legislators about why this sector matters and why adequate funding can't wait. After the 1-hour speaking program, you'll meet directly with your legislators to discuss our priorities.

Building on the energy of last year’s first-ever Merrimack Valley Rally — where nearly 200 advocates gathered at Northern Essex Community College to demand increased funding and fair wages for human services workers — this upcoming event will once again unite the sector to raise our voices together. Join fellow providers, workers, and champions for an energizing rally focused on pay parity, sustainable funding, and the power of collective advocacy in Merrimack Valley.
