Persis Yu is fighting for affordability in Massachusetts.

affordability agenda

Massachusetts families are being priced out.

Housing, child care, and health care costs keep climbing, and people who have built their lives here are leaving because they can't afford to stay.

But we can change that.

The state has the power to drive costs down, the authority to make corporations pay their share, and the ability to strengthen the workers whose wages have to cover the difference.

The state has the power to dramatically lower costs for working families.

Corporations dodge taxes, pile on junk fees, and use monopoly power to set prices. Instead, we can use that money to fund affordability.

Higher wages are the fastest way to build a commonwealth that working families can actually afford.
