What you need to know about teacher strikes:

✅ they’re popular
✅ they work

Yet they remain illegal in MA—call your rep and tell them how cool they’ll be when they support MTA’s #RightToStrike bill! ✊🏼 #mapoli

It's time for the @ACSCANMA monthly meeting. We have a lot of legislative work to do up under the Golden Dome of the Massachusetts State House in Boston! My "favorite" bill is "An Act to reduce incidence and death from #PancreaticCancer" (S.1330/H.2182)! @ACSCAN #mapoli #magov

Thanks @GBinterfaith and thank you to West Broadway tenants @BHA_Boston for turning out! #bospoli #mapoli

What will it take to make a dent in the Massachusetts housing crisis? @GBinterfaith has ideas -- and they want lawmakers to listen:

#Carless #mapoli #Bospoli #MBTA #Tis4Torture 5pm no Orange Line train for 40 min, then that one didn't stop at my station. Five more min later the train finally graced us with her presence after a 45 min wait. At Rush hour, on a weekday. I could have gotten to Providence faster

Here to hold the line @realgaraad

@LydiaMEdwards needs to issue an apology to @juliaforboston! What happened on Saturday was appalling! How can you deny a duly elected prominent Latinx leader not to participate in a public event centered on Latinx voices? The irony here is so sad and unimaginable!#bospoli #mapoli https://twitter.com/EBProgress/status/1637840035285278723
