MIT was celebrating the future of technology. Outside, graduate students and maintenance workers were fighting for a future they could afford. As MIT's Future Fest got underway, workers picketed over wages, health care costs and stalled contract negotiations. Graduate workers say the university's initial offer would increase health care deductibles while leaving their pay below MIT's own estimate of the Boston-area living wage. After months of negotiations, their union collected more than 1,300 signatures pledging to strike. MIT maintains that it is bargaining in good faith while navigating uncertainty surrounding federal funding. ✍️ Yawu Miller Read the full story at baystatebanner.com, link in our bio, or grab a copy from street boxes in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, South End, Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, Cambridge, Hyde Park, Brockton, and Randolph!

A menos de dos meses de las elecciones, los votantes de Massachusetts no solo elegirán gobernador, senador, nueve representantes federales y 200 legisladores estatales. También deberán responder nueve preguntas de la boleta: un récord que se estableció en 1972 y que se repitió en 1976 y 1994.

Las preguntas de la boleta suelen estar redactadas en lenguaje legislativo, como si estuvieran dirigidas únicamente a abogados y legisladores. Pero, al momento de votar, esas mismas preguntas aparecen frente a los residentes en la cabina, que tienen apenas un minuto para leerlas y decidir.

Por eso, y por primera vez, El Planeta y @baystatebanner se unen a @cwbeacon, con el apoyo de @bostonfdn , para publicar una guía electoral sobre las preguntas de la boleta a las distintas comunidades a las que cada publicación se dirige.
