A JUST RECOVERY

We are seeing the convergence of racist policies and practices, economic inequality, and a global pandemic.

In response to the current public health and economic crisis, we are working in partnership with coalitions to focus our research on the most urgent policy solutions. We are channeling the unique expertise of our team of analysts to tackle the important challenges ahead. Our team is offering policy solutions that provide immediate economic relief and longer-term investments in the Commonwealth.

At MassBudget, we are using our budget and fiscal expertise to identify inequities and create a more just economic recovery.
