ARPA– Expecting decisions from legislative leaders in the next few weeks over how to start spending billions of remaining dollars from the state’s American Rescue Plan Act allocation, a coalition of advocacy groups plus a handful of lawmakers on Monday released a scorecard they’ll use to measure whether the plans prioritize racial justice.

“Groups involved in the effort include the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts, the New England Area Conference of the NAACP, Amplify Latinx, the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts, Neighbor to Neighbor, La Colaborativa, the Greater Boston Latino Network, the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Public Health Association.”
