It was an honor to accept a Community Legends Award this past weekend on the site of Grove Hall's old Rec Bubble. Grove Hall's kids & teens deserve a permanent rec facility in their neighborhood, and I can't wait to see plans for the facility move forward swiftly. #GroveHall

Thomas' opinion threatens our right to safely love & be loved. Our hard-won #mapoli & federal protections weren't even enough to end violence against trans & GNC folks. Thomas would return us to a time where being ourselves marks us all as non-citizens. We won't go back. #SCOTUS

Today, the House voted to protect & increase abortion access and gender-affirming care in MA, as well as ensuring that we defend those across the US who seek out an abortion here. I want to thank @RonMariano & leadership for their steadfast responsiveness on this issue. #mapoli

The precedent the repeal of Roe v Wade has set will reverberate for decades. MA will continue to defend & strengthen Reproductive Rights & Bodily Autonomy. We must codify @MassGovernor's Executive order to ensure safe abortions for vulnerable people across the US. #mapoli

The #SCOTUS draft decision ending #RoeVWade makes life more dangerous for #WomensRights, #LGBTQIA+, & #BIPOC. It threatens all civil rights with that old racist trope- #StatesRights. Even in a safer state like MA we must organize, vote & support abortion access funds & the #WHPA

It was an honor to swear in new members & celebrate 30 years of @MassLGBTQyouth's hard work along with @RepJackLewis & @Rep_Higgins. Spending the day w/ community is a reminder that demanding recognition & dignity before the law is worth it. #mapoli #pride

The House just overrode the Governor’s veto. This legislation will increase safety on our roads by ensuring that everyone has access to a driver’s license, regardless of immigration status.

Sorry folks, my earlier meeting is running a bit long, I’ll be at evergreen for those who want to chat as soon as possible!
I will be at Evergreen Cafe tomorrow afternoon from 12-2pm - hoping that members of the community can stop by to chat! #mapoli #jamaicaplain
Mass shootings and smaller scale shootings are a grief we shouldn't have to bear. We need more legislation at both the state and federal levels that puts community safety ahead of the corporate profiteering of gun makers. #MApoli #EndGunViolence

State Receivership is not the answer for Boston Public Schools. It hasn't worked in the past, and it won't work now. Instead, we need to focus on community based solutions & getting additional funding for underprivileged communities. #mapoli #BPS #MAedu replizmalia.org/single-post/…
