Description
Every week, advocates fill the halls of the Massachusetts State House pushing for policies that increase labor, energy, and healthcare costs—making it harder for small businesses to survive.
Now, it's your turn to be heard.
Join the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce and industry groups such as RAM, NFIB, and the Massachusetts Restaurant Association for Small Business Day on Beacon Hill, a powerful opportunity to show up, stand together, and speak out (or simply be present!) for policies that support small businesses like yours.
You don’t need to speak—just showing up makes an impact. You’ll learn from fellow business owners, hear directly from lawmakers, and help raise the banner for affordability and competitiveness in Massachusetts
