Next Tuesday will be an exciting day for liberals all over Massachusetts. The Democratic nomination for state representative is up for grabs in three districts, each of which were previously represented by extremely conservative Democrats. Important issues like health care, public education, reproductive rights, and marriage equality will be significantly affected by the winners of next Tuesday's primaries.

A wide variety of progressive groups around the states have endorsed three progressive candidates. Now is the time to help them out! Here's how.

* Linda Dorcena Forry, in 12th Suffolk (Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Milton)
The campaign needs volunteers on Saturday, Sunday and Monday starting at 9:30 am. Meet at the campaign office at 760 Adams Street in Dorchester. On Tuesday, volunteers should go to the Old Dorchester Post in Adams Village (about five doors down from the campaign office).
