Massachusetts Advocates

Massachusetts Advocates for Children (MAC) is a nonprofit organization based in downtown Boston dedicated to removing barriers to education for children across Massachusetts. They work collaboratively with students, families, communities, and policymakers to ensure that education is recognized as a fundamental right rather than a privilege.

MAC provides individual advocacy through a helpline that offers legal advice and support to parents, as well as community training for parents, medical professionals, educators, and legal advocates on relevant education laws. Their policy advocacy efforts focus on identifying systemic barriers and promoting new legislation while enforcing existing laws to protect the rights of children, particularly those with disabilities and from immigrant families.
