It starts with a ticket or a fine. Then it cascades. Debt, debilitating choices, and the threat of having your license suspended—of having your life and livelihood destroyed. The #RoadToOpportunityAct can end this, and can be another step forward in the #FreeToDrive movement. #Massachusetts #mapoli

Co-ED Catherine spoke in the program supporting the #RoadToOpportunityAct. This bill will end the practice of suspending driver's licenses for unpaid fines/fees, making MA part of a nationwide movement to stop the criminalization of poverty + break cycles of debt.
