I urgently need all Bostonians to complete the #2020Census by TOMORROW, Oct 15th. Boston relies on the funding that comes from the Census. As we continue to recover from #COVID19, filing out the Census helps Boston access crucial federal resources for our ongoing relief efforts.

Today, joined @uscensusbureau in encouraging Chinatown resides to complete the #2020Census. It’s critical to have an accurate count. The census impacts funding for public education, social services. Regardless of your immigration status: Everyone Counts in the 2020Census!#bospoli – at Chinatown, Boston

At today’s cleanup sponsored by @BCNCInc & Chinatown residents, I had the opportunity to talk w/residents about the importance of completing the @ma2020census. Everyone Counts in the 2020 Census! If you haven’t already, PLEASE complete the census. #bospoli – at Chinatown, Boston

Last night the MA House passed TOPA (Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act) as an amendment to the Economic Development Bill! TOPA gives tenants a shot at ownership when buildings are sold, key to preventing displacement. #TimeforTOPA

Structural Racism: 70% of Boston’s eviction filings in market-rate housing are in parts of the city with a majority of residents of color, while 37% ...are in majority Black neighborhoods—even though they only contain 18% of the city’s rental housing. bostonmagazine.com/property/…

We remember Tunney Lee (李燦輝, 1931-2020) scholar, teacher, and activist, who educated, mobilized, and inspired many. He was a dedicated and generous supporter to BCNC and he played an integral role in the development of Pao Arts Center. Tunney, you will be greatly missed.

We knew this, but good to see numbers. Researchers expected ‘outrageously high’ discrimination against Black renters. What they found was worse than imagined - The Boston Globe bostonglobe.com/2020/07/01/m…
