Rep. Russell Holmes on turnout in W.14 #Dorchester: "It’s both cultural and lack of trust. Many Black people want the experience of voting on Election Day and we trust seeing our ballots going in the machines as normal. It's a tradition that respects our history and struggle."

There is nothing in the CARES Act that prohibits the 13,000 community members in MA behind the wall from receiving a stimulus payment. They are entitled to their $1,200 check.
The deadline to apply for a missing payment is November 21 at 3 p.m. ET.

Yesterday a few of our Members took up the @MassStatePolice on an offer to learn about their training techniques and implicit bias initiatives. Together, we had a meaningful conversation about how our communities understand encounters with police and where we can go next.

I’ve spent a lot of my life in the Army & loved being w/ fellow vets today at Mayor’s brunch for African-American veterans in #Roxbury. These men and women responded to the nation’s call & have spent important years of their lives serving causes greater than themselves.
