MyIssue.DevalPatrick.com

MyIssue.DevalPatrick.com is an online tool to help you participate in shaping the direction of your community and Massachusetts. It is where you can identify and present an issue that matters to you and then organize around it. The Governor keeps track of the efforts of everyone who uses MyIssue.DevalPatrick.com and will often comment on issues generating solid amounts of support.

He may even take action himself, help you take action, or get others to help.

So whether your issue affects all of Massachusetts or just your local area, you now have the power to reach your Governor and those in your community.

So go ahead: get organized and create change.

Here's how:

  1. Create an account
  2. Create an issue (or just look around and support other people's issues)
  3. Organize your friends, family, neighbors, and peers to support your issue and help facilitate change.
  4. Locate and join up with others who are active around your issue--building even deeper support.
