  • Women’s reproductive rights

Day on the Hill is in Room 428 at the State House.  Registration and coffee begins at 9:30 a.m. and the program runs from 10 a.m. to noon.  Then League members will visit their own Senator and Representative.

What is Day on the Hill?

Day on the Hill  is an LWVMA event held annually at the Massachusetts State House.  Each year, LWV members from around the state join together to discuss upcoming legislation and advocacy. A keynote speaker addresses an area or areas of focus. The LWVMA specialists prepare a packet of materials for members to use to encourage their legislators to take action on selected legislation. League members discuss the League legislative priorities with their individual Senators and Representatives after the morning program ends.
