Sam Kanji and his mom Ilyse Levine-Kanji are powerful advocates for the Blue Envelope Bill — an initiative designed to promote better interactions between individuals with autism and law enforcement.
Their persistence is a reminder that sharing your lived experiences is key to driving meaningful change. Through their commitment, they’ve shown how advocacy can help shape policy and make Massachusetts a safer and more inclusive place for everyone.
