Jeffries Blackerby, Editor in Chief of DEPARTURES, said, “This issue pays tribute to cultural figures and business leaders, from chefs and doctors to designers and entrepreneurs, who are using their talents for good in a world that is being reshaped by demands for justice in the face of economic fragility, loss of health and security, and systemic racism. I’m very proud to dedicate these pages to extraordinary people who are leading by example, from the six luminaries on our covers to the many other innovative folks who are actively designing, building, growing, cooking, painting, and programming the future.”

New MA Law Taking Effect Oct. 1; ACMA Still Needs Funds to Stop It

Last week we issued an urgent appeal to help fund a suit we hope to file against the state of Massachusetts and its outrageous “cookie nexus” regulation. The full appeal is below, but in a nutshell, we can only file this action with your help. Some have already stepped up with pledges and we thank you for that. To all others, we need your help. This will become a national standard if not opposed. If you are with a high profile company, review our appeal below. Then please let us know we can count on you by clicking on the auto-reply email below. Also this week, the Boston Herald ran an article on the topic in case you missed it... Help Thwart Massachusetts’s Cookie Nexus Law Industry Must Fund Legal Challenge Or Face Consequences Dear Catalog & E-commerce Industry Members: Place a cookie or provide an app that is downloaded by a Massachusetts resident and you have just created a physical presence in the state, according to a new regulation being promulgated. The State Department of Revenue introduced this approach once before, only to have it struck down in court following an ACMA/NetChoice lawsuit. But after correcting the defects pointed out by us, MA is back with a new approach that flies in the face of both the Quill presence and the Internet Tax Freedom Act. This dangerous expansion of state powers will be quickly replicated elsewhere if uncontested. Recall how quickly the click-thru nexus laws expanded? New York promoted this new approach unopposed, which then spread to 20 other states almost overnight. Click Read More below for additional detail.
