AG CAMPBELL, ABORTION ADVOCATES AND LAW FIRMS LAUNCH ‘ABORTION LEGAL HOTLINE’ ADMIST UNPRECEDENTED LEGAL QUESTIONS FOLLOWING DOBBS DECISION

Hotline, created by the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation, will connect health care providers and patients with free legal advice on abortion access and care 

 

BOSTON

 – The fall of Roe v. Wade has raised new and unprecedented legal questions concerning the provision of abortion care throughout the country. Today, the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation, in partnership with Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell, the Women’s Bar Foundation, the ACLU of Massachusetts, and five law firms, launched the Abortion Legal Hotline, a free and confidential resource to connect Massachusetts-based health care providers, helpers, and patients obtaining care in Massachusetts with free legal advice and resources about abortion access and care. 

 

The Hotline’s launch comes as anti-abortion actors in states across the country look to restrict access to care across state lines. When a provider or patient calls the Hotline with a legal question, coordinators from the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation and the Women’s Bar Foundation will help connect callers with specially trained attorneys from the ACLU of Massachusetts; Foley Hoag LLP; Goodwin Procter; Goulston & Storrs PC; Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo, PC; or Ropes & Gray LLP for pro bono legal advice. The Attorney General’s Office convened this group of stakeholders to collaborate on and facilitate the Hotline, which is part of AG Campbell’s commitment to prioritizing reproductive justice and the ongoing work of the AG’s Office to protect residents and providers in the wake of the Dobbs decision.

 

You can find more information about the Abortion Legal Hotline HERE.

 

“From codifying protections for providers and patients into state law to creating a free and confidential hotline for residents, Massachusetts continues to lead on reproductive justice,” said Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. “We know that access to a full spectrum of reproductive care, including abortion, has never been more vital. My office is proud to convene these advocacy groups, law firms and legal advocates to support providers and patients in administering and accessing essential health care.”

 

“Abortion remains legal in Massachusetts and no anti-abortion extremist should be able to reach across our borders and challenge that,” said Rebecca Hart Holder, President of the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation. “We are proud that the Massachusetts Legislature acted boldly to pass best-in-the-nation protections for abortion providers and patients last legislative session. Now, we are excited to build off their work and launch the Abortion Legal Hotline to ensure those offering or accessing abortion care in Massachusetts fully understand the scope of this new law and how care is protected in our Commonwealth. Massachusetts abortion providers offer life-saving, lawful, and loving care each and every day, and must be able to do so without fear of hostile or harmful litigation.”

 

“For 30 years, the Women’s Bar Foundation (WBF) has provided free legal assistance to individuals facing critical legal issues, particularly to survivors of domestic abuse,” said Women’s Bar Foundation Executive Director Margaret Talmers. “For survivors, access to reproductive health care is essential to their safety. Forcing someone to stay pregnant or preventing them from having an abortion can keep them trapped in an abusive relationship. This is just one of the many reasons the WBF is proud to be part of the Abortion Legal Hotline, connecting health care providers, helpers and patients who have pressing legal questions to excellent pro bono attorneys.”  

“Everybody should be able to get the reproductive health care they need without fear of arrest or criminalization,” said Carol Rose, Executive Director of the ACLU of Massachusetts. “After the fall of Roe, Massachusetts passed best-in-the-nation protections for abortion providers and patients. Now, the ACLU stands ready to ensure that Massachusetts abortion providers, patients, and helpers have access to high-quality legal advice and resources to realize our state’s protections.”

 

“We are proud to be part of the Massachusetts Abortion Legal Hotline,” said Foley Hoag Pro Bono Counsel Rebecca Cazabon. "Foley Hoag has a long history of doing pro bono work protecting reproductive rights and promoting access to abortion care and our attorneys look forward to continuing to provide free legal advice to Massachusetts-based health care providers, helpers, and patients obtaining care in the state."

 

“At a time when long-standing and fundamental rights of women and girls have been revoked and are under increasing curtailment and threat throughout the country, we are grateful to Reproductive Equity Now for their vision and leadership in fighting for equitable access to reproductive health care, including in the creation of this hotline,” said Karen O’Malley, Co-Chair of Goulston & Storrs’ Pro Bono Committee. “This hotline will provide a critical communication channel for healthcare providers, patients, and helpers who have questions about providing and accessing legal and safe abortion care. Goulston & Storrs has long been a pro bono partner with REN and other organizations to support equality and liberty for women and girls, and we look forward to providing pro bono service through this hotline initiative.”

 

"Everyone should be able to make their own choices about their bodies and lives based on their beliefs and values, free from discrimination, violence, and duress," said Susan Finegan, Chair of Mintz's Pro Bono Committee. “With that in mind, Mintz is proud to partner with Reproductive Equity Now, the Women’s Bar Foundation, the ACLU of Massachusetts, and other firms to establish the Abortion Legal Hotline, designed to respond to important [or time sensitive] inquiries from patients, advocates, and healthcare providers as they navigate the complex changing laws and their potential legal exposure in Massachusetts."

“Massachusetts is a leader in protecting the right to abortion services in the US, and Goodwin is proud to be a part of this effort to help ensure that providers, patients and others within Massachusetts and across the country have a resource they can utilize to understand their rights and the law with regard to accessing and providing safe and legal abortion services in Massachusetts,” said Caroline Bullerjahn, Partner in Goodwin’s Complex Litigation & Disputes practice and Co-Chair of the Dobbs Task Force.

In July, Massachusetts passed An Act Expanding Protections for Reproductive and Gender-Affirming Care, which included best-in-the-nation protections for abortion and gender-affirming care providers who offer lawful care in Massachusetts. The law took steps to protect providers’ professional licenses and malpractice insurance, while also prohibiting extradition for the provision of lawful care in Massachusetts and ensuring Massachusetts courts do not become a venue for hostile-state claims.

 

Any attorney qualified to practice law in Massachusetts who is interested in providing pro bono legal services should contact the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation at info@reproequitynow.org.

麻州就業市場情況錯綜 2022迄今已有9家生物科技公司關門

            (Boston Orange 編譯) 麻州受新冠病毒疫情衝擊3年，經濟持續下滑以來，現正緩慢復甦，但人力市場出現供需失調現象。跨入2023年，雇主們到底會提高薪資以招睞員工，推動經濟發展，還是會因經濟成長趨緩，縮減雇員人數，目前似乎還難以看出確切趨勢。

波士頓環球報在1月30日的一篇報導中稱，在2020年的3、4兩個月中，麻州雇主刪減69萬個工作機會，使得麻州失業率從低於3%，暴漲至17%，幾乎等於每5個人就有1人失業。

這種情況，就連經濟大蕭條時都沒出現過，而且似乎餘波盪漾，暴露出就業市場的缺陷。

波士頓商業期刊 (BBJ)今 (30)日也刊文稱，上週又有位於劍橋市，主力研發治肝病藥的Goldfinch Bio，以及2020年才初創，投資者包括拜耳 (Bayer)，2022年8月才募到290萬元，有15名員工的Theonys這2家生物科技公司關上大門。

如果從2022年初開始計算，包括Kaleido Biosciences、Genocea Biosciences、H3 Biomedicine、Rubius Therapeutics、Faze Medicines、Gemini Therapeutics ，以及Yumanity Therapeutics.在內，已經共有9家生物科技公司宣告結束營業了。

                         2019年時，雇主們平均每月增加4300個工作機會，去年，雇主們每月大約增加1萬1000個工作機會。但是根據可拿到的最近期數據，2022年11月時，市場上有24萬個職缺。和新冠病毒大流行發生之前的5年，每月職缺平均約為15萬7000個相比，意味著招聘面對著人力短缺障礙。

                    以麻州來說，截至2022年12月，麻州的工作機會和2020年2月的總數相比，仍然少了7200個，約0.2%。全美作為總體來看，則是在去年夏天已經恢復。

             導致復甦滯後的2個主要因素是新冠病毒疫情在麻州比在其他州造成的影響更大，時間更長。在就業市場中佔了將近10分之一的大型娛樂業，復甦得很慢。

                  上個月，麻州的失業率為3.3%，比全國的平均數低0.02%。但是麻州的失業率比新冠病毒大流行前高，而美國的失業率則已回到新冠病毒疫情前的低點。

               麻州面對的問題之一是，離開就業市場的人比加入就業市場的人多。上個月，麻州人力市場中的人數，比2019年6月的高峰期，少了11萬2000人。下降約2.9%。

                原因之一是年紀最長者已77歲的嬰兒潮時期出生者，紛紛退休，而麻州邁入就業年紀的年輕人卻相對的少。全州18歲以下居民約占總人口21%。除非移民人數增加，否則麻州的人力供應在未來數年都將遲滯。

            此外，因為酒店、餐廳及旅遊業疲軟，麻州的工作崗位數量，也還待回復到疫情之前規模。

            麻州目前工作機會最多的領域是註冊護士，零售業銷售員，醫療及健康服務經理，零售業主管等，可能要經常暴露在不健康公眾環境中的職位，影響了人們的就業意願。

紐英崙中華公所11獅齊舞迎兔春 吳弭強調家庭的重要 黃子安籲照顧本地商家

2023年1月28日這天，波士頓天清氣朗有陽光。(周菊子攝)

                     (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 波士頓華埠29日早上，鑼鼓喧天，萬人空巷，熱鬧的程度近3年來從未見過。11隊醒獅團輪番來朝，在夏利臣街舞台前，向台上嘉賓拜年，和擠滿街頭群眾同慶癸卯兔年時，都幾乎寸步難行。

和去年下雪相比，今年華埠舞獅時的天氣之好，簡直讓人意外。雖然中華公所主席雷國輝和中文書記翁宇才一大早凌晨6點趕到會場佈置場地時，氣溫仍低，讓他們凍到手指僵冷，到早上10點活動開始時，氣溫就已上升至華氏將近50度，還天清氣朗有陽光。

              這天不只醒獅隊數量破紀錄，包括每年例必出席的麻州眾議員黃子安等，台上嘉賓人數超多，波士頓市長在現場逗留時間也超長。許多個醒獅隊還別出心裁，請出大頭財神隨隊發紅包，舞獅完拉炮灑滿天紙花，巾幗醒獅隊則是製作了兔子頭飾，配上新款”獅”頭，創造新意。

                 紐英崙中華公所主席雷國輝作為主辦單位首長，在司儀阮鴻燦和張青梅介紹後，率先致詞。他先以英文說，今年是兔年，而兔子很聰明，又活躍，今年勢必是個好年，接著再以中文說兔年象徵好運，祝大家身心健康，兔年愉快，「兔」氣揚眉。

                    波士頓市有史以來的首名華裔市長吳弭 (Michelle Wu)致詞時，也先以以中文說，「新年快樂，非常高興看到大家」，再闡釋農曆新年是關於家庭、社區，在疫情逼使大家幾近3年未聚之後，今年更是特別重要，她丈夫和2個小孩也全家出動都來了，她感謝州市政要，以及波士頓警察局局長Michael Cox，亞裔聯絡員黃楚嵐等許多波士頓市政府同事也都來和大家見面，呼籲群眾這天，還有以後，別忘了光顧本地商家，支持地方小企業。

波士頓市議會議長愛德華費連稱許波士頓華埠延續傳統，慶祝農曆新年也是慶祝華人社區隊波士頓市和美國的貢獻。鑒於近年針對亞裔的仇恨犯罪、暴力持續發生，他呼籲大家重新承諾尊重並有尊嚴的對待每一個人。

波士頓警察局局長Michael Cox特地學會一句「恭喜發財」，在台上以中文向群眾拜年。他還透露，年輕時華埠也曾是他生活中很重要的一部分。

AAJA Mourns the Loss of Two Community Members Associated with the LA Times: Randy Hagihara, Retired Editor, and Gregory Yee, Breaking News Reporter

The Asian American Journalists Association is saddened to hear of the deaths of Randy Hagihara, a veteran journalist, retired editor at The Los Angeles Times and longtime member of AAJA; and Gregory Yee, breaking news reporter at the Times and AAPI journalist. Randy Hagihara passed away at his home Jan. 7, 2023, after a battle with esophageal cancer. He was 72 years old.  Randy was born and raised in Los Angeles. Following four years in the Air Force, he started his journalism career in 1979 reporting and photographing for Koreatown Weekly, known as the first English-language newspaper for Korean Americans. He worked at a series of other small papers before joining The Los Angeles Times in 1990, where he would spend more than two decades. When he retired in 2011, he was senior editor for recruitment and ran Metpro, the Times’ minority-recruitment program.  Randy was a staunch supporter of AAJA, assisting in countless programs, especially those involving recruiting, hiring and career advancement. Fellow members remember Randy as one in a group of pioneering AAPI journalists that broke many barriers and were among the first through the doors.  “Without leaders like Randy paving the way for younger generations of AAPI journalists, AAJA and so many of its members would not be where we are today,” AAJA Board President Nicole Dungca said. “While he will be dearly missed for his empathy, eagle-eyed edits, and quick wit, his legacy lives on in the journalists who have learned from Randy himself to pay it forward.” Friends and colleagues remember his strong, no-nonsense work ethic, as well as a sharp sense of humor. He had a passion for mentoring the younger generation and recruited hundreds of journalists to the Times and other publications. One of his mentees remembers him for inspiring her and her colleagues “to be not just good journalists, but also good people.” Another remembers, ‘‘He pushed me to get better, to dig deeper, to write more simply, to tell stories and not just assemble facts.” “We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Randy Hagihara, a longtime member of AAJA who championed its causes, as well as countless young journalists, during a remarkable, decades-long career,” AAJA-Los Angeles Chapter said. “At the Times, he stewarded the organization's internship and Metpro programs for years, recruiting, hiring, mentoring and guiding hundreds of reporters, many of whom were journalists of color. Today, news organizations across the world are filled with talented journalists in whom Randy saw potential and gave their start.” AAJA-LA plans to honor Randy and his legacy of mentorship and will announce details soon.  Gregory Yee was only 33, and passed away from complications from a respiratory issue on Jan. 4, according to the Times. Greg, a Los Angeles native who graduated from UC Irvine in 2012, served as the university paper's editor-in-chief, according to The Los Angeles Times.  He worked in several newsrooms, including the Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., where he was known for his warmth, humor and dedication to breaking news. In 2021, he returned to his hometown to take a job at The Los Angeles Times. “Greg was a friend to many at the Times and beyond,” AAJA-Los Angeles Chapter said. “He was taken much too soon and his young age betrays the impact he had in his newsrooms.”  “Knowing Greg was a gift that now feels a little like a curse because a world without Greg’s tenderness and genuine zest for life feels unbearable right now,” said his friend and former colleague Deanna Pan. AAJA-LA and The Los Angeles Times will start a scholarship to honor Greg. It will focus on skills development and training opportunities for early career journalists “to develop the next generation of Greg Yees,” according to LA Times Executive Editor Kevin Merida. – AAJA Board of Directors and AAJA-Los Angeles

Statement from Governor Healey and AG Campbell on the Death of Tyre Nichols

Statement from Governor Healey on the Death of Tyre Nichols 

 

BOSTON – Governor Maura T. Healey issued the following statement on the death of Tyre Nichols: 

 

“We face another tragic moment in our country. What we see today will cause tremendous pain, for Tyre Nichols’ family, for Memphis, and for Black people forced to relive generational trauma caused by police brutality.  

 

“While true justice would mean Tyre Nichols being here with his loved ones, the swift action taken by the Memphis Police Chief and prosecutors demonstrates the essential accountability and oversight we need and what families deserve.   

 

“What happened in Memphis is a betrayal of our basic humanity. We value the dignity and worth of every member of our Black and Brown communities, every person in Massachusetts. 

 

“Now is a time across this Commonwealth for us to communicate with honesty and understanding, and to show care, empathy and love. We will be guided by our continued conversations with faith leaders and community members, and we will commit to the work we need to do as a nation, and as a state, to address systemic profiling and racism, and protect basic human rights.”  

STATEMENT FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL ANDREA JOY CAMPBELL ON THE DEATH OF TYRE NICHOLS

 

BOSTON – Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell issued the following statement on the death of Tyre Nichols:

 

“Tyre Nichols was a father, a son, a friend, a community member and a human being. I am deeply saddened and emotionally overwhelmed by the brutal and savage beating ending in the murder of Tyre. I am sad for his loved ones, including his parents and daughter, friends, the Memphis community - all of us. 
 
“I did not need to see another video to know that there remains tremendous work to do to address corruption, police brutality and racial injustice in this country and in Massachusetts. While I applaud the immediate firing and indictment of the officers involved, I also recognize that our society has begun to normalize these violent acts and as long as we continue to do that, we will issue statements and then move on.  
 
“As the chief law enforcement officer of the Commonwealth, I will not move on. Each of these cases breaks the heart of mothers, communities especially the Black community. This persistent trauma destroys our young people and families. While I believe in accountability, and holding all five Black officers fully accountable, the direct and active participation of Black officers adds an additional layer of pain for the community.  
 
“With this deep understanding that people are suffering, I know that praying and issuing a statement are not enough. The Attorney General’s office will do everything in its power to tackle racial injustice, public corruption, hate and brutality.”
