It’s not fair to students who looked to Boston as a place of educational opportunity. It’s a blow to our economy at a time when we can least afford it. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
My message is clear. This policy has no basis in public health or the national interest. It’s an attempt to pressure colleges and universities to open up. It puts politics in place of public health. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
@Harvard and @MIT are leading the lawsuit to stop that policy. Yesterday, I joined @LACity @MayorOfLA Eric Garcetti in leading a group of cities to file an amicus brief in support of this lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

Yet, two hours from now a federal court hearing is scheduled, here in Boston, on a plan by the Department of Homeland Security to deny visas to international students, if the college that is hosting them goes online for the fall. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We need to avoid, at all costs, politicizing a pandemic and dividing people at a time when acting together is a matter of life and death. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
At the very least, we need leaders who don’t put up barriers to states and cities that are trying to protect their residents and restore their economies. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
This country has needed, all along, a White House and an Administration that takes this virus as seriously as the vast majority of the American people do. — PolitiTweet.org

I can announce today that, barring any change in circumstances, the ban on plastic bags and the 5-cent bag fee will remain suspended until September 30. They will return starting on October 1. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
In March, we suspended the City’s ban on plastic bags and the 5-cent fee for paper bags in order to give both stores and customers more flexibility during a difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I also have an update for grocery stores, pharmacies, retail stores, restaurants, and their customers. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
Like outdoor dining and healthy streets, it’s another way we are innovating, in response to the pandemic, to support small businesses and bring new amenities to our neighborhoods. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We are offering 23 sites so far and we are working to add more as needed. You’ll be able to find out where they are on https://t.co/WvlOZVh4Pv this week. — PolitiTweet.org

This summer, we are piloting temporary food truck sites across our neighborhoods, including at City parks, playgrounds, and public spaces. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
This Friday is the launch of our 2020 Summer Food Truck Initiative, and for the first time ever, Food Trucks will be heading to our neighborhoods. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve always approached the Summer Jobs program as being about more than a summer. We want it to have a lasting impact on a young person’s life – whether that’s coursework that unlocks new career paths, or the ability to advocate for themselves and their fellow workers. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
So we’re providing all our Summer Jobs participants with an online resource guide to workers’ rights, put together by the office of @MassAGO. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We also want young people entering the workforce to understand their rights and the rights of all working people. That’s something we believe in as a city and an administration. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I want to thank the local colleges who are providing this experience: @BFITinvolved, @BHCCBoston, @SeeRCC, and @UrbanCollegeBOS. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
It will have more than 500 young people enrolled in 26 classes, in areas like Business, Communications, Early Childhood Education, Human Services, and Technology. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
This summer, we created a “Learn & Earn” Career Development Internship that pays young people to take college-level coursework. They come away with real college credits as well as experience and financial earnings. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We also took the opportunity to build on our efforts to connect those jobs to college and career pathways. That’s been a big part of modernizing our summer jobs program over the last six years. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We boosted funding for the program from $8 million to $12 million to increase outreach, increase support, and offer an opportunity to every young person who needs it. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
This year, with fewer employers able to offer jobs in person, we had to get creative in providing summer opportunities that are safe and meaningful. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
Opportunity is not distributed equally, and the right opportunities can make all the difference in a young person’s life. So, I’m excited to announce two new features of our youth summer jobs program that launched this week. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I want to thank Wayne Budd and all the members of the Task Force for their service, and I want to reaffirm my pledge to act on the recommendations of this board, as informed by the community. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We’ll be sharing information this week on how to sign up to testify or submit written testimony. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
On Wednesday, July 22, there will be a session on the body camera worn program from 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. A Thursday, July 23 session is on implicit bias training. Sessions the following week on July 29 and July 30 are on civilian oversight and use of force policies. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I can announce that, starting next week, the Task Force will be holding online listening sessions on key issues, where residents will have the opportunity to share their experiences and beliefs. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
That’s the purpose of the Boston Police Reform Task Force that we appointed. It’s headed by former U.S. Attorney Wayne Budd and made up of Black and Brown community leaders, civil rights leaders, and activists. Their work is moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org
