MA DEMS HOLD PLATFORM HEARING APRIL 6

             

Party platforms sometimes seem like only words. However, they do represent the views of the party at a given period of time. They can be more than words if elected officials are held accountable for the planks they contain.

There is an extensive process of hearings in which  the public can make known their concerns . Then a Platform Committee crafts the actual document. The party convention then endorses, or amends, that document to have a final platform for the coming years.

The hearing described below is part of the Massachusetts Democratic party  process to adopt a platform for the state party. Participate. Let your views and concerns be known.
