A few days ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to the Joint Committee on Housing at the State House in favor of the Act to Promote Yes in my Backyard. We need to build more housing and we need every community to help. Thank you, Abundant Housing MA

The first step to getting re-elected to the City Council is to get on the ballot. What better way to do that than to have a Nomination Paper Signing Party! Join me on Thursday, July 17th, from 5 to 7 pm. at the 730 Tavern in Central Square for complimentary appetizers and sign my papers!

Hi John. My comment about it being an event split was in response to Councillor Toner saying there were many more emails in support of two lanes. The main reason I supported the current configuration is because it's safer.

Cambridge, MA, has joined 11 other communities from around the country on an amicus brief challenging the Dept. Of Homeland Security's decision to revoke TPS for Venezuelans. Keep fighting!

Participation in the illegal sex trade is not merely a lapse in judgment. It fuels an industry that exploits and harms women. As this case advances, the Council, and more specifically, Councillor Toner, will need to make decisions on how to move forward. 2/2

Councillor Paul Toner has been named and charged in connection with a brothel operating in Cambridge. It is important to note that Councillor Toner has not been found guilty and is entitled to due process. However, the nature of these charges is deeply concerning. 1/2

We have increased it every year until it reached $1 million. Last year was $2 million because it was the 10th anniversary.

Proud of Cambridge, MA for signing on to an amicus brief challenging the Department of Homeland Security's decision to revoke an 18 month extension of Temporary Protective Status for 350,000 Venezuelans who will lose TPS. We have to fight this hatred in the streets and in the courts!

The question for me is not about purchasing the new technology, but where the money is coming from. I would like to find a way to have it come from money that has already been allocated. If it can't, then it can't, but we have to check.

I'm proud to have co-authored a policy order, which passed unanimously, adding transgender and non-binary residents to protections under our Sanctuary City Ordinance. In is imperative that we push back against hate.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Multi-Family Housing Ordinance that passed 8-1. Thx to my colleagues @SumbulSiddiqui and @BurhanAzeem, who led the charge. We can’t address a housing shortage without building housing. Let's keep moving Cambridge forward!

There is concern that this rally is not legit. I don't really know, but do your research before you go.
