Social and environmental health & democracy legislation and laws possible with your support! Support our current list of preferred MA state legislation at this link!

We've submitted our petition initiative and now the Attorney General's office will review and prepare a legal analysis and summary.

Sign up for news (on our ballot measure) HERE.

The submission, which can be found here with reasons why found here, is for a constitutional amendment to require centralization of information and easy-to-understand summaries of conflicts of interest of certain government officials & candidates thereof, including state officers from all branches of government and, in addition, candidates for the Massachusetts federal delegation to Congress, President and Vice-President. Tax returns and other required disclosures under oath are to be randomly audited.

Constitutional amendments can be amended by the legislature. Therefore, your help is needed to help set up meetings with legislators to insure any proposed amendment only strengthens the purpose - please sign up here for information on helping.

A new ballot committee is being set up specific to this ballot question. If you'd like to be a partner, please contact us at elm@ followed by our domain name.

If this is successful, then perhaps we can move forward with other useful ballot measures.

Sign up to help support state legislation HERE. Bills include reducing school screen time, privacy, saving trees, and hard-wiring the Net.

Kirstin wrote several of the bills, many co-sponsored by Rep. Patricia Duffy. However, these are bills that require popular public support for passage.

Last year, the legislature did not count all the testimony in support of some of our bills. This year, we request a copy of any testimony you've written for the starred legislation on the MA legislation page (i.e. bills where Kirstin had a hand).

Information on bills and instructions for providing testimony are listed on the MA Legislation page. Sample testimony will be posted. Supporting testimony can be emailed with the bill number to testimony@ preceding our domain name lasttreelaws.com or mailed to Kirstin Beatty, 149 Central Pk Dr, Holyoke, MA 01040.

Please also share the MA Legislation listed relevant bills with legislators, schools, and others, as well as these educational resources.

Pesticide Action. If you live in or represent a local or relevant organization, please sign this letter for Holyoke to prevent aerial spraying of a toxic pesticide. See the resources page, chemicals section, for more information.

Building MA Legislation Support. Please share MA Legislation listed relevant bills or see this PDF of bills with legislators, schools, and others, as well as educational resources.

Write & Share MA Testimony. Last year, the legislature did not count all the testimony in support of some of our bills.

Important Update: Please come back later to donate as we set up a new ballot question committee for 2021.

Please consider donating to Last Tree Laws! We do not have the funds needed for basics needed for a ballot measure. Please also consider supporting Kirstin's educational, writing, and research work, which isn't covered by the ballot committee donations. We are not a nonprofit, and so do not have access to grants and cheaper prices.

LAST TREE LAWS. Donate online! For online, see the donate link in the navigation menu or the donorbox at the top of the MA Legislation page. Here is how to send a check:

    • Mail to ----
    • Address check to ----- (cash is restricted)
    • Include this information (required by law - the state accounts for this and it is public information):
      1. Your occupation
      2. Your employer
      3. Your name and address

We've posted resources and information freely to educate, and will continue in hopes that you will act and lead on these issues independently. We hope a swarm of independent actions will disrupt industry manipulations.

Officially, the leadership is as follows:

Kirstin Beatty, director, who became active after becoming ill from wireless exposures. Kirstin works on writing, content, legislation, and research for Last Tree Laws as a volunteer. She has a website, Beatty.fyi, with further writings, educational materials, and an option for patronage. Her Twitter tag is @BeattyKirstin.

Our new ballot question committee will just have Kirstin as officer, until arrangements can be made otherwise. By law the name of the ballot committee must have Kirstin's name and the topic of the ballot measure.

Tatiana Cheeks, was previous co-chair and work with Arise and Science for the People for greater accountability to prevent mold in housing. Tatiana is also a long-time volunteer and mold organizer with Springfield-based ARISE, which focuses on the rights of the poor such as access to safe environment and housing.

Anonymous is the webmaster, who prefers to remain anonymous!

We're focused on legislative avenues for change. Last Tree Laws formed as a Massachusetts ballot measure committee to put forward popular legislation that state legislators will not put forward for a vote.

Reducing wireless exposures has been another point of focus. Kirstin has drafted original legislative solutions, such as to eliminate a PreK-12 public school screen time mandate or to register cell towers.

Other work includes:

  • Analyzing Massachusetts laws & conflicts;
  • Researching & synthesizing relevant information;
  • Freely sharing information neatly online;
  • Organizing educational events;
  • Stop 5G MA ordinance development;
  • Ballot measure development.

For this year, we are interested in a broadly popular topic that the state legislature would not likely pass due to industry opposition. This year, we managed to finish one ballot measure topic on requiring conflict of interest disclosures and explaining these to the public in plain language.

Although we are working on legislation to limit wireless and other non-ionizing radiation exposures, this is not a topic that would be easy to pass with a ballot measure.

We chose to focus on putting sunlight on conflicts of interest because as this may encourage more integrity in government, and thus indirectly help all aspects of environmental health.

Please check back! We will need voter signatures and help acquiring voter signatures!

Our fight for technology regulations isn't just about the environment or technology, but social justice.

A lot of legislation out there provides special favors and business opportunities for a few - instead, we favor legislation that helps everyone and avoids promotion of products, individuals, or businesses. Addressing societal problems should not be an exclusive business opportunity or require payment for knowledge or safety.

Locally, technology needs to be regulated in areas such as:
▪ developing safer, accessible technologies;
▪ limiting toxic chemicals & managing waste;
▪ limits on digital marketing & excess screen time;
▪ protecting digital privacy;
▪ protecting public education & curriculum;
▪ alternatives, such as eco-friendly jobs and entertainment;
▪ reducing electromagnetic emissions (wireless and electric exposures);
▪ acknowledge hubris and ignorance (e.g. genetic and nano engineering outcomes)
▪ limiting resource consumption (mining, scarcity);
▪ limits on automation (education, jobs, life);
▪ protecting quality of life and democracy in Massachusetts and globally;
▪ preventing monopoly, and
▪ preventing poverty.
