Local speech and debate tournaments in Massachusetts are often cost-prohibitive for low-income students across the state, particularly those in inner city Boston. If your school doesn't cover tournament fees, frequent competition is often entirely inaccessible. The Massachusetts Chapter offers a two-fold solution by promoting Equality in Forensics' free scrimmages and tournaments across the state as an accessible alternative to expensive local competition, and by conducting fundraisers to help underprivileged debaters reach their full potential.
