Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

The program was developed as a direct result of recommendations made by small business owners, prioritizing industries most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, like food service, childcare, laundry services, retail, our creative economy, and fitness.

Thank you to our @parks.boston.gov, the All Dorchester Sports League, the Dorchester Softball League, and this entire community for making this project a reality.

Across Dorchester, we’re re-imagining what these spaces can look like. Just two weeks ago, we cut the ribbon on Codman Square Park; a few weeks before that, we welcomed two new cricket fields to Harambee Park. And in June, we unveiled a new basketball court at Fenelon Playground.

These top-notch facilities can host @bostonschools.boston.gov and local sports tournaments, and the neighborhood can count on new climate resilient features, like splashpads and shaded structures, to help them cool off on hot days.

Walsh Playground is a great example of what we mean when we say we’re making Boston a home for everyone. The renovated playground—the basketball and tennis courts, the walking loop and shaded tables, the softball fields and accessible playground—was shaped by the local community.
