Hands Off Our Healthcare! Stop the GIC Cuts!

February 5, 2026

Graphic with red background, black hand overlaid, and white and black text reading Hands Off Our Health Care Speakouts. Amherst, Tuesday, Feb 10, 5:00PM, Commonwealth Honors College Hall, 157 Commonwealth Ave, Amherst, MA

UMass Amherst Rally and Press Conference this Tuesday, February 10th, at the Commonwealth Honors College Events Hall

The GIC is about to vote to weaken our health care plan… unless we stop them! Join fellow MTA members and other higher education workers for a rally/press conference on February 10 to reject these proposals with our collective voice. Let elected officials and the public know how these proposed GIC cuts will impact YOU.

Massachusetts is the wealthiest state in the wealthiest country with the wealthiest billionaires; Public-sector workers will not bear the cost of a crisis caused by a reckless federal government. Our families deserve better!

Help send a clear message to the GIC and Governor Healey: Don’t balance the budget on the backs of public workers and their families! We have an opportunity to address health inequities in this budget and demand better health care — not worse! Refreshments will be provided.

To learn more about the cuts, please visit.

Refreshments will be provided.
