After more than 35 years, and in the final minutes of the legislative session in the small hours of January 6, the Massachusetts state legislature finally passed a bill to redesign the racist state flag and seal!
Governor Charlie Baker has 10 days to sign resolve S.2848, which will establish the special commission to design a new state flag and seal.
Four hundred years after the Pilgrims landed In Plymouth, it is long past time for Massachusetts to begin to reckon with its racist and damaging history with Native Americans.

PREVIEW: As the new legislative session starts on January 6, we will be back at the State House once again to present bills to ban Native sports team mascots, to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day statewide, to protect Native heritage, to ensure improved educational outcomes for Native students, and include Native curriculum in public schools statewide.
