We joined Mayor Wu and the Community Safety Team in the announcement of the 2024 annual Summer Safety Plan to ensure all Bostonians, especially youth, have access to essential summer resources, events, and programs.

As Chair of the Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee, we’re looking forward to a safe and fun summer 2024.

Together with Councilors Flynn and Murphy, we had a productive discussion with students from Excel High School about various quality of life issues related to their education and explored ways in which the City Council can help improve their learning environment and overall experience.

We joined The Queer Neighborhood Council for a Policy Roundtable covering legislative and budget priorities our office and the City Council are working on. Housing was a cornerstone of discussion but the evening also featured questions around community spaces for Queer youth, advocating for a shelter for unhoused trans youth, and discrimination the LGBTQIA+ community face on public transportation.

We joined with Louis D Brown Peace Institute for their 28th Annual Mother’s Day Walk for Peace at Town Field Park in Dorchester. Embracing the theme of cultivating cycles of peace, we stood in solidarity with families and communities affected by violence.

Visited Catie’s Closet at Mildred Ave K-8 with Councilor Pepén today. Their program converts unused school spaces into safe shopping areas where students can access clothing, toiletries, and more for free. They also assist children transitioning between living conditions.

At the Mount Hope Canterbury Neighborhood Association, we connected with residents, fostering productive dialogue and staying tuned in to Boston’s diverse communities.

Yesterday, we had a wonderful time connecting with the Jamaica Plain community at Mozart Park. The gorgeous weather was a bonus, and we were treated to a delightful serenade by JP’s talented young musicians.

Last night, we participated in the Belle Isle Marsh community meeting. As the last natural salt marsh in Boston, Belle Isle Marsh plays a vital role as a buffer against climate change impacts. Monthly meetings focus on protecting marshlands, improving accessibility, and fortifying the community against flooding. We must continue to protect Boston’s natural ecosystems for future generations.

Started Monday off at Peter’s Park in the South End at Mayor Wu’s Coffee Hours. These coffee hour connections provide an opportunity to delve into meaningful conversations about the unique needs of every corner of Boston. Looking forward to the next one!

Today, Councilors Fitzgerald and Murphy organized a Polish Flag raising ceremony outside city hall to honor this historic event.

Polish Constitution Day is celebrated on May 3rd each year and commemorates the signing of the Constitution of 3 May 1791.

Yesterday was momentous. Not only did we file the Ordinance for Safe & Healthy hotels but we stood alongside Boston’s hardworking and dedicated hotel workers as they fight for fair wages and to feel safe in their workplace.

To our hospitality workers, we see you and we stand with you.

Today was a truly inspiring afternoon spent at the 2024 WINKids BOOK BAN-D Poetry Month Event hosted at BPL Roxbury! It was heartwarming to witness the enthusiasm and creativity of the incredible group of kids who joined us. Together, we delved into the power of words and found connection through poetry.

Kicked the week off at Horatio Harris Park in Roxbury this morning at Mayor Wu's Coffee Hours. It's truly rewarding to engage with different communities and facilitate discussions about the distinctive needs of every part of Boston.
