# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Protect Tribal Sovereignty: Say NO to HHR Rally
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us on Thursday, October 15 at the Massachusetts State House as we stand together against proposed Historical Horse Racing legislation.

For our people, this is about much more than gaming. It is about Tribal sovereignty, protecting our economic future, and making sure the Commonwealth keeps the commitments it made to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe through the Tribal-State Compact.
The HHR proposal could dramatically expand slot-style gaming across Massachusetts and increase access to gambling for people 18 and older.

We need Tribal citizens, families, employees, friends, allies and supporters there with us. Our numbers matter, and showing up together sends a strong message:

Protect Tribal Sovereignty. Honor the Compact. Say NO to HHR.
Thursday, October 15
