Restaurants are the economic, social, & cultural anchors of our streets.
And this new liquor license reform gives every Bostonian a chance to realize the core idea that this city & its blessings belong to all of us.
So proud that our 2014 reform paved the way for this progress.
With book bans on the rise, I’m grateful to community-led programs in the #MA7 like @ReachOutAndRead that make books more accessible and use reading to promote healthy childhoods for our babies.
Thank you @BostonMedicalCenter for hosting.
Our elders deserve to remain connected to loved ones and age with dignity.
Council Tower in Roxbury helps them do that by providing a computer learning center, fitness center, & a community roof deck.
It was great to drop by & meet with seniors over a cup of coffee.
This ribbon-cutting is a testament to the commitment @JustAStartCorp & our communities have to uplifting one another.
Their new Economic Mobility Hub will support folks in Cambridge access housing, pre-K, job training & more.
Proud to secure $250K to help make it possible.
It was great to join @USGSA Administrator Carnahan and our colleagues to celebrate Boston’s first net-zero-carbon office building.
This is testament to the @WhiteHouse’s Justice40 initiative & what we can accomplish when we have leaders at all levels of government committed to climate justice.
I’m proud of the historic impact our liquor license reform has had since passing in 2014.
And it’s a joy to celebrate this new bill, which gives restaurateurs in Boston a chance to enjoy an equitable opportunity to build community & wealth.
TY to everyone who made this possible.
It’s not hyperbole when we say books save lives.
That’s why I was proud to secure $524K to help launch the new Turner Free Library in Randolph.
This mobile library will help students and elders without high-speed internet access books & free WiFi, right where they are.
I testified at the @BostonCityCouncil hearing about the USPS failures in Boston.
It’s a shame USPS refused to show up to discuss a critical issue impacting folks’ medications, mail, checks & ballots.
We won’t let them off the hook and we’ll keep pushing for accountability.
Every life is a universe.
Today we remember those killed in the October 7th attack. And we grieve for every life we have been robbed of since—Israeli, Palestinian, and American.
We must remember that we are one human family and our destinies are tied.
Diplomacy is the only path forward and saving lives must be the priority.
Latinas earn only 51 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men.
This wage gap isn't just unfair, it's an economic injustice.
On #LatinaEqualPayDay, we're fighting to enshrine the Equal Rights Amendment so we can close the gender wage gap once and for all.
Amber Thurman should be alive today. Every single woman who has died because of Trump's abortion bans should be alive today.
L'Shana Tovah to our neighbors and friends in the #MA7 celebrating Rosh Hashanah!
Wishing you and your family love, unity, safety, peace, and a sweet new year.
The Economic Mobility Hub by Just A Start will help address community needs & build pathways for economic stability in Cambridge.
From housing & job training to pre-K, I was proud to secure federal funding to launch this center & invest in our people.
