We awarded $27M in grant funding to decarbonize affordable housing from the Berkshires to Boston. That means healthier homes, lower monthly bills, and good jobs for local workers in every region.
This program embodies how I see climate action. It’s all about opportunity.

@newbedfordpublicschools and @fallriverpublicschoolsma excel in their support of special needs students, which is on full display in their high school unified sports teams. If you’re looking for some inspiration, go to one of these games.

Amen to that. Thank you, @BrianFragaNCR for calling out bishops inserting themselves in this. LGBTQ Catholics are adrift and want a place to call home. This doesn’t help. @JamesMartinSJ

News: The US Catholic bishops (@usccb) will vote this week on whether to amend directives for Catholic hospitals to mandate they no longer provide gender-affirming treatment to transgender patients.

Thanks to @MayorWu @wutrain for her partnership on LGBTQ issues as well as with all of @ethocare’s work with our aging adults in Boston to help them age in place with dignity, equity and community, breaking down silos and barriers. #bospoli #mapoli
Our Annual Pride Luncheon for LGBT Seniors, Friends, Allies, & Supporters was an incredible success! We couldn’t have achieved this without the support of @wutrain and @AgeStrongBos. A big thank you to our partners for helping us create a memorable event.

I #WearOrange because of 120 Americans killed every day by gun violence — and countless others, like the students and teachers I was with today, who have said through tears that they live in a constant state of fear and outrage. 🟧
