Your contribution will fund signature gathering, voter outreach, and public education to ensure everyone in Massachusetts knows the truth and has the power to hold government accountable.
Together we can break down the walls and open the books for the people of the Commonwealth. But we have to stand strong and keep up the fight.
Thank you for standing with us in this fight for transparency, accountability, and democracy.​​
Dear Friend,
Massachusetts consistently ranks among the least transparent state governments in the nation.
That must change.
We are the only state in the nation in which the Legislature, Governor's Office and Judiciary all claim an exemption from public records laws -- meaning the people's business can get done in the dark.
Massachusetts taxpayers deserve a government that works in the sunlight. But right now, our own state house continues to exempt itself from basic public records laws that every other government entity follows.
Voters overwhelmingly support accountability, yet Beacon Hill insiders continue to block reform.We are up against a powerful establishment of special interests and political powerbrokers who will do anything to protect the establishment -- even if it means violating the new audit law we just passed by 72% of the vote.
They are pushing back hard against the will of the people of Massachusetts because they want us to give up on our fight for an open and transparent government. They want us to believe that our voice and our vote do not matter.
But we are not giving up. We are leveling up.
This year and next year, for the 2026 election cycle, we are working hard to place a measure on the ballot that puts the Legislature and Governor's office under the state's public records law -- meaning you, the taxpayer, will have direct access to public records that they currently keep secret.
I am asking you to join forces with me to support this citizen-driven ballot initiative to place the state house under the public records law like every other entity of government so that we can shine a bright light on how Beacon Hill operates.
Transparency, accountability, and accessibility matter.
You deserve to know how your tax dollars are being spent and how decisions are being made.
To succeed, we need grassroots support from people like you to help us collect over 75K signatures by November 19th. We need everyday residents who believe in open government and honest leadership to stay strong and keep fighting alongside our efforts to open up the books.
In addition to printing out the attached ballot petition below to sign your name and help collect signatures, we ask that you please make a contribution to our ballot campaign.
We can't do this without your support.
​
In service,
Diana DiZoglio
