Christine Barber for State Senate

Change doesn’t just happen — it takes persistence and commitment. I was reminded of that tonight when I had the honor of speaking at Tufts University TUPIT’s MyTERN graduation for formerly incarcerated people.

Educational opportunities are integral to criminal justice reform and re-entry support, and can help pave the way to real justice. I’m proud to be a partner by getting state funding for this program.

The amount of dedication in the room tonight proved that we are a stronger community when we empower each other. Thank you to the entire team at TUPIT and congratulations to the incredible graduates!
