“Let me be clear, not a single bill that attacks the hard-won rights of this community will ever make it through my door or the doors of the Massachusetts Senate,” Spilka said. “Massachusetts is not budging, will never budge. We will be here for you. We are not retreating. We are not compromising. Simply put, we are not going back.”

Spilka on Thursday unveiled the latest iteration of her “HERstory” art installation, recognizing women with reputations as trailblazers and disrupters, from colonial spiritual leader Anne Hutchinson to astronaut and Needham native Suni Williams.

“I have heard loud and clear from my colleagues, and the communities we represent, that hybrid meetings have increased access, engagement, and transparency in local government,” the Ashland Democrat said in a statement.
