Legislative Agenda

A legislative agenda is a list of all legislation currently in government that supports a particular policy, program, or idea.

Through our legislative agenda, we’ve highlighted legislation in Massachusetts that would positively impact the lives of survivors on BU’s campus. This legislative agenda supports SARP’s missions and advances the values of survivor rights, equity, and justice.

5 ways to support our legislative agenda

  1. Contact local Senators and Representatives to advocate for an issue. It can be as simple as sending an email, calling their offices to leave a message, or scheduling an appointment with their office. Elected officials rely upon their constituents to tell them about the issues that are most important to them and their community.
  2. Register to vote! As a college student in Massachusetts, you can register to vote locally! Your vote could positively impact your time in Boston. Many university students living in Boston tend to make the city home after graduating.
  3. Attend local rallies, press conferences, and other advocacy days at the Massachusetts State house to advocate for issues that inspire you.
  4. Bring up these issues in your everyday conversations. Create discussions with family, friends, and co-workers about policy issues to enhance their knowledge. Check out our guide for having difficult conversations in the SARP Resource Library.
  5. Stay Informed! Keep up-to-date on current issues by reading newspapers, watching or listening to the news, and following SARP’s social media for updates. See some of our recommended sources below:
