Vote YES on 6 to Protect Water & Nature in Massachusetts — Without Raising Taxes

Question 6 dedicates the sales tax we already pay on sporting goods to a new Nature for All Fund to protect clean drinking water; conserve forests, family farms, and natural wildlife habitat; and create more parks, trails, and greenspaces for all to enjoy.

It’s time to permanently protect the places we love — clean drinking water, healthy forests and wildlife habitats, more trails and parks, and access to the outdoors and nature for everyone in Massachusetts. All without raising taxes. Vote YES on 6 by November 3rd.

How Question 6 Works

Dedicates the standard sales tax we already pay on items like camping gear, golf clubs, and fishing equipment — just 0.16% of the overall state budget.

Existing Revenue

Establishes the Nature for All Fund with as much as $100 million/year to protect clean water, conserve forests, farms, and wildlife habitats, and create and improve local parks.

Dedicated Fund

Funds approved by a public oversight board with strict annual reporting requirements.
