Why didn't the @bostonpolice or the #Massachusetts #StatePolice or the @MBTATransitPD stop these #WhiteSupremacist in their tracks on #Saturday? #MA will not become #Mississippi!

Today @MayorWu and @DARollins held a press conference on white supremacist activity.

Our Black & Brown, Asian, LGBTQ+, & Jewish communities have been experiencing increased threats & attacks.

We must stand united in solidarity with each other against white supremacy.
