My office is working with school districts to not only create, but enforce policies against racism and hate-driven bullying. We will not allow an environment of fear to hinder our children from showing up as their full selves, in or outside the classroom.

Great showing at the Caring Force Western MA Regional Rally yesterday! The rally at Westfield State Univ., attended by CHD, was a chance to advocate for a livable wage and a student loan repayment program for the human services sector and to celebrate direct service providers.

60 years ago, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law. I'm grateful for those who fought for our rights and protections against discrimination and white supremacy. That fight is alive and well - and we will continue to combat hate in our schools, workplaces, and communities.

While it's impossible to quantify all of the good that happened around the world yesterday - the kindness expressed, time given, hope restored - we do know that in a single day, people in the U.S. gave $3.1B on #GivingTuesday. givingtuesday.org/blog/3-1-b…

If you are wearing a cloth face covering and feel yourself overheating or having trouble breathing, put at least 6 feet of distance between yourself and others and remove the face covering. More safety tips: bit.ly/2tZjtbM #COVID19 #ExtremeHeat

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

Peaceful protest today in Holyoke. #passioncouragetruth. @HPSHOLYOKE and @CityofHolyoke This cannot be one and done. Dismantling racism and systems of oppression requires individual introspection and deep institutional examination. We can do this if it becomes our primary work.
