DiDomenico Serves as Speaker at MIRA Our Shared Table Luncheon
BOSTON-Senator Sal DiDomenico recently served as a speaker at the Massachusetts Immigrants and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition’s Annual Our Shared Table event at the State House. Every year, to kick off the holiday season, MIRA hosts this luncheon for newly sworn-in U.S citizens and other immigrants and refugees to celebrate our Commonwealth’s rich diversity, share personal stories, and make new connections.
“Our Shared Table is always one of my favorite events of the year, and it was an honor to join with so many friends at this year’s holiday luncheon to celebrate our immigrant and refugee community,” said Senator DiDomenico. “I am proud to support MIRA Coalition through our work in the Massachusetts Senate, and I am very grateful to Executive Director Eva Millona and her team for all that they do to make our Commonwealth a welcoming place for all.”
Senator DiDomenico has been a longtime supporter of MIRA Coalition and champion for immigrants’ rights. Throughout his tenure in the Senate, he has continuously voted against legislation and amendments to the state budget that would harm Massachusetts’ immigrant and refugee community. In one of his very first votes as a State Senator, he joined with only nine other colleagues in opposition to a budget amendment that unfairly targeted Massachusetts immigrants. Since then, he repeatedly advocated for initiatives that provide critical services to our immigrant and refugee population and programs that help residents of Massachusetts become United States citizens.
