Held in honor of our friends in government and advocacy, this year’s reception highlighted the impact of women in leadership and the great strides JCRC and our partners have made in promoting equal rights, economic opportunity and inclusion. We hope you were able to engage with our fantastic award recipients during the gathering of JCRC’s vibrant network of allies, passionate about justice, equality, and public service and look forward to your continued partnership in our efforts to build a more perfect Commonwealth.

JCRC and MAJF are incredibly grateful for the volunteers, community partners, friends and allies who joined together at #LegRec16, honoring four outstanding women in leadership who have helped shape the public policy and change the hearts and minds of people throughout the Commonwealth and the entire country: Treasurer Deb Goldberg, Senator Karen Spilka, Representative Pat Haddad, and Raffi Freedman-Gurspan; with our event co-chairs Jesse Mermell and Fredie Kay.
