Last night, I was at a town meeting in Hamilton, where residents were outraged to learn that a 65,000 square foot “medical” marijuana grow facility is being proposed for a local residential area. This industrial behemoth would consume more water than 60 new homes and flood our neighborhoods with marijuana. The CEO of the pot […]
This Saturday, May 25th, Franklin Graham will be returning to Massachusetts for the first time since his widely attended Decision America Tour two years ago. This year, he’s visiting the Western part of our Commonwealth with an event at the Eastern States Expo in West Springfield. There will be live music by David Crowder and a message of […]
Last Thursday, the MA GOP tweeted out this video by a high school track star lamenting the fact that her sport is now being dominated by boys who “identify” as girls. It highlights how the transgender movement is destroying women’s sports. However, instead of standing up for real women, the state Democratic party is calling the video, preposterously, […]
Last night, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jim Lyons in front of a crowd of pro-life supporters to discuss the MA Infanticide Act. We both noted how this bill is so extreme that we are seeing it galvanize a broad base of resistance. That unity and energy amongst the local pro-life movement is encouraging. […]
I received an email this week from a parent who is trying to opt their young teenager out of Sex Ed in their local public school.

Last night, Governor Baker signed the Counseling Ban into law. It had been amended with an “emergency preamble,” so it goes into effect immediately. Sadly, it is already having exactly the tragic consequences we predicted. Over the weekend, a family contacted MFI looking for counseling help for their daughter, who is in crisis with rapid onset gender dysphoria. […]
House of Representatives vote could be held as early as Wednesday Tuesday, March 12, 2019 Woburn, MA – On the eve of a formal legislative session on Beacon Hill where the Counseling Ban (H 140) could be voted upon, the Massachusetts Family Institute is launching a radio ad campaign to educate the public about the […]
Imagine a state where Planned Parenthood has a virtual monopoly on the sex education curriculum taught in every public school in Massachusetts. It could actually happen if the new Sex Education Mandate passes! That is why it is so important that you join us for our Annual Pro-Family Lobby Day on Wednesday, March 20th from […]

It is now advancing aggressively into our own homes, threatening to separate children from their parents. The leading edge of this campaign […]
