September 7, 2018
Greetings!
In other news, the Coalition's former Legislative Advocate/Community Organizer, Tina Giarla, recently transitioned within the Coalition to become the
A Bed for Every Child
Program Director. We are grateful for all of Tina's organizing work on the policy team for the past five years-- three years as a staff member and for two years before that as an intern. Tina has wasted no time and is now bringing her tremendous creativity and skills to expand A Bed for Every Child.
With that transition, the Coalition is very excited to introduce to you two new members of our
public policy advocacy
team, James Saucedo and Molly Schulman. Please read more about James and Molly below, and join us in welcoming them. We look forward to having you meet James and Molly, and collaborate with them in moving forward the Coalition's bill and budget priorities. All together, we can better ensure that everyone has a place to call home.
Happy September!
Best wishes,
Kelly

Molly Schulman, originally from New Jersey, is passionate about digging deep into family history as a source of resilience, power, and energy. She attended Tufts University where she received her degree in American Studies with a concentration on Institutions and Power. While at Tufts, Molly had her first experience organizing as a part of the Tufts Labor Coalition, stepping in the footsteps of her great-grandparents who were labor organizers in New York City. Since graduating, she has organized with IfNotNow as a trainer, song-leader, and strategy lead in New York and worked at a Jewish urban farm in Berkeley. She is thrilled to be back in the Boston area working with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless this year as the Community Organizing/Legislative Advocacy Fellow in conjunction with the
