Hart Holder to Join ‘Safe and Healthy Communities for All Ages' Policy Committee

BOSTON (November 28, 2022) – Reproductive Equity Now President Rebecca Hart Holder was today named to the Healey-Driscoll transition team’s Safe and Healthy Communities for All Ages Policy Committee, charged with translating the campaign’s vision for reproductive health policy into actionable governing plans. 

“By elevating reproductive health leaders to the transition table, the Healey-Driscoll administration is making its commitment to reproductive freedom clear from the get-go,” said Reproductive Equity Now President Rebecca Hart Holder. “This Administration will lead on Day One with bold solutions to expand access to abortion, increase community health resources, and show the rest of the country what is possible when state leadership delivers on its values. I am honored to join this all-star committee to ensure our Commonwealth remains a leader for reproductive equity for years to come.”

“We’re excited to welcome this experienced, innovative and hardworking group of leaders to our transition policy committees,” said Lieutenant Governor-elect and Transition Chair Kim Driscoll in a press release announcing the policy committees. “They will play a critical role in the important work we are doing to ensure that our administration is ready to begin moving Massachusetts forward on day one.” 

Each committee is led by two to four co-chairs, who were previously announced. The committees will get to work immediately on their mission to translate the campaign’s vision into governing plans. All committees will apply an equity and affordability lens to their work, always considering the ways in which historically marginalized communities may be impacted and how to alleviate economic burdens for Massachusetts residents.
