I am taking executive action to create, for the first time in #Boston’s history, an Equity and Inclusion Cabinet in my administration. The Equity and Inclusion Cabinet will drive the work to dismantle systemic racism and embed equity in all planning and operations moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I have said, systemic change doesn’t come from one policy or budget investment. Our goal must be to build a process of change into the way our government and our society works. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are moving 20% of the police overtime budget into physical and mental health programs, the safety and wellbeing of our youth, and the long-term success of our neighborhoods. https://t.co/kPTrzGVYrh — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I stood here and declared racism to be a public health crisis and, because yesterday's budget, we are making an initial investment of $3 million to fund public health strategies that tackle structural inequalities. https://t.co/DWZV14QVP0 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We created a Task Force to conduct a deeper review of police policies and oversight. We will bring that review to the community and act on those recommendations this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We introduced immediate reforms in @BostonPolice policies, including the #8CantWait use-of-force standards and new intervention training. https://t.co/ijXXt4cPgW — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

My announcements today advance our work to root out systemic racism and build up racial equity in our city. This is a conversation that every community needs to keep at the forefront. It’s a conversation that needs to produce both immediate and ongoing change. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

That’s how we’ll emerge from this crisis as a stronger city and community, and that’s how we’ll respond with resilience to any challenge we face. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We have to rebuild our systems as we reopen: to eliminate the stain of racism and create greater opportunities for those who have been excluded in the past. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

To achieve both those goals, in every respect, recovery also means equity. We have to get resources and opportunities to where they are needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Recovery means, first and foremost, containing the spread of #COVID19. That’s how we’ll restore our economy and our community in a way that is safe and sustainable. — PolitiTweet.org

For everyone, when you are patronizing a business, and whenever you are outside your home: Wear a face covering, stay 6 feet from others and avoid crowds, wash your hands often and clean surfaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I invite everyone to consult the detailed sector guidelines and resources we have available. If you have any questions, go to https://t.co/WvlOZVh4Pv. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

For every new step we take in reopening, we have to renew our focus on the risks involved and the precautions we need to take. No business should reopen unless they are ready to do so safely by meeting all the state requirements, by working with the city and managing the risks. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We can feel good about where we are, in #Phase2, Step 2, of the Massachusetts reopening plan. We’re here because residents and businesses have done a terrific job. We should be proud of our city and state. If we want to keep moving forward, we have to be diligent in our work. — PolitiTweet.org
