Attorney General Barr and the Trump Administration do not share Boston’s values or my values. His actions and general lack of respect for people and their rights are a danger to our city and the future of our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In Boston, we believe in justice and equity, and protecting everyone in our community. I am working every day to combat the injustice and systemic racism that is at the root of so many of our challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember: #COVID19 is still here. Please wear a face covering when you leave home, stay 6 feet away from others, wash your hands often and disinfect surfaces. As we gradually reopen and as our numbers trend in the right direction, it’s incumbent on all of us to stay vigilant. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In 2020, we acknowledge the role we all have to play in breaking down systemic racism once and for all. This is a time to make history and move forward. https://t.co/IgTzOnTltL — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to urge everyone—from every race and background—to reflect on what this holiday means; reflect on the suffering and injustice that Black people experienced and continue to experience; and reflect on the history behind the issues we face today. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’ve come a long way in Boston, but there’s so much more work to be done. We started taking some more steps last week, and there will be more to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Juneteenth is as important as ever because the legacy of injustice, and the fight for freedom, continue today. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Tomorrow is #Juneteenth. It’s a monumental day for our nation and our city. It’s a day when we commemorate the end of slavery and we honor the Black community’s role—fighting for their rights and making us a better nation. https://t.co/gzZQ2fXoW8 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Their work has helped 225,000 Boston families in every neighborhood of our city, with a heavy concentration in the communities harmed the most by historic and systemic racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We have raised over $32 million and released over $20 million into the community. Those funds have gone to 247 nonprofit organizations, 46% led by a person of color and 57% by women. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The #BostonResiliencyFund continues to get resources to communities in need. This week, we are distributing grants to 17 organizations totalling nearly $500,000. https://t.co/hyNMdmt5nd — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We look forward to seeing how these projects enhance our communities and revitalize our neighborhoods. I'd like to thank the artists and @ArtsinBoston for making it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

61 artists will be painting utility boxes as part of our PaintBox program, and we also have two new murals going up this summer: one in Newmarket Square and one at Madison Park High School. https://t.co/9jckSTA34V — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

So our public art projects are moving forward, while following public health guidelines. 24 new projects have received grants through our Transformative Public Art program. https://t.co/H4VJhNjmCU — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re also not neglecting the role of arts and culture in our recovery. We’ve been activating public space in a number of safe ways, and public art is essential to that work. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Last week, we launched our new ONE+Boston mortgage. Our goal is to create 1,000 new homeowners in the @CityofBoston. Contact the Boston Home Center at 617-635-4663 if you are interested. https://t.co/rFL7iQvEcl — PolitiTweet.org

.@BHA_Boston is working with hundreds of families of school children on permanent rental vouchers to lift them out of homelessness. https://t.co/N3fHk6i45b — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We have distributed $900,000 so far to cover rent for households that aren’t eligible for unemployment benefits. We have $8 million available to continue that work. https://t.co/3M80LEvBxh — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’ll be working with the State Legislature to move that forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The City Council passed our Home Rule Petition, that would bring 184 new liquor licenses to restaurants across our neighborhoods. Those include 15 set aside exclusively for minority-owned businesses. https://t.co/ur2e6dTxeK — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are also advancing our plan to permanently increase the availability of liquor licenses. That’s an important tool for restaurants to add revenue and expand their customer reach. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We have a new directory of Black and Brown-owned businesses to make it easier to support businesses owned by people of color, and help to increase equity in our economy. You can find these resources at https://t.co/pPLayy3JVu — PolitiTweet.org
