Gender Equality
July 25, 2023
Pressley, Lee, Garcia Introduce Equality in Our Laws Act
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.
It’s high time that we make gender equality the law of the land.
And we can do that by enshrining the Equal Rights Amendment into our Constitution.
I met with @CarolynBMaloney, @ERACoalition, and advocates to strategize about next steps and how we can finally get this done.
@CatiesClosetOrg in Hyde Park are doing incredible work to give children across the #MA7 access to clothing and basic necessities.
Grateful for the opportunity to meet with their team and see their life-changing work up close.
