#Boston’s immigrant community is essential to our recovery. We rely on their contributions to keep Boston running. That’s why we’re providing immigrants impacted by #COVID19 with emergency relief through the Boston Immigrant COVID-19 Collaborative. https://t.co/E6LZShc11W — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Yesterday I announced our next steps in keeping residents safe throughout reopening. I talked about our @BostonMarathon decision, our plans for healthy public spaces, our support for immigrants, and the #BostonResiliencyFund. Read my full remarks here: https://t.co/xhaJlqgTVR — PolitiTweet.org

On Monday, June 1, office spaces in the @CityofBoston can gradually reopen. We have best practices and recommendations available for businesses so they can minimize #COVID19 transmission and strive for maintaining their workers and customers' health. https://t.co/u4tsv8G19i — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Thank you to all of our @COB_ONS liaisons for delivering care kits with essential items and multilingual information to residents across the neighborhoods. In the @CityofBoston, we will always look out for one another. — PolitiTweet.org

Every @BostonSchools and charter school family will receive P-EBT assistance, $28.50 per child each week to be used at grocery stores. If you have any questions, please call 311. https://t.co/mXq9aGZUNB — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

While you #stayhome and practice #physicaldistancing, please take time to fill out the 2020 Census. This is important because the funding and representation that #Boston receives depends on the character of our city. https://t.co/g0o9Fyb6DO — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Every resident and every neighborhood is impacted by the #COVID19 pandemic. Throughout our phased reopening, we will continue to assist Boston’s small businesses because we know our city’s wellbeing is at stake. https://t.co/LvVXJeg53E — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Congratulations to @MadsonParkTVHS’s Melanie Sola and Javon Graham on being the first @BostonSchools students to earn Associate’s Degrees before graduating high school. I’m so proud of you and cannot wait to see all that you do. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today, May 28 at 5:00 p.m. the Reopen Boston Fund will begin accepting applications. Small businesses in need of support to purchase the required tools to follow safety guidelines and PPE are encouraged to apply. For more information, visit here: https://t.co/QiwCJoaS87. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It starts with expanding bus stops and bus lanes. We’re also building dedicated bike lanes. We also continue to study opportunities for opening up lanes to pedestrians on some neighborhood streets. You can find details at https://t.co/qxCYeT0wK9. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It’s to improve physical spacing in our neighborhoods. It’s to help workers and small businesses recover. And it’s also to continue the work we were doing before the crisis to make public space in Boston more safe, more accessible, and more healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today, I can also share our new steps to improve health and safety in public space. It’s a package of changes we’re calling #HealthyStreets. https://t.co/hsgCA22P9C — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Billy Boyle’s legacy will help keep that fighting #Charlestown spirit alive, for generations to come. My prayers are with his family and friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

He helped found Charlestown Against Drugs, mobilizing a community against a crisis. Those are the kind of lessons he taught, that we are relying on today. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I got to know Billy because you couldn’t go to #Charlestown without meeting him and seeing his positive impact everywhere. He was a charter member of the Bunker Hill Associates that organizes many of the Bunker Hill Day events. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to mention one person who represented that spirit. Billy Boyle was a veteran and a retired firefighter from #Charlestown who passed away yesterday. https://t.co/2ps6PSFL2b — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I’ll close with another unsung hero of our city. May is national Older Americans Month. The theme for 2020 is "Make Your Mark." It’s a way to celebrate the contributions that older adults made, and continue to make, in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

That’s why I’m proud to be from a family of immigrants and a city of immigrants. And I’m proud of our Boston Immigrant COVID-19 Collaborative and the work it will be able to do thanks to these donations. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We won’t stand for that in #Boston. That’s not how a strong community reacts to hard times. We don’t scapegoat people. We stand together. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

So when I hear reports of discrimination these days, especially against Asian Americans, it makes me angry. It’s happened around the country and we’ve heard of some local incidents as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

They wanted us to know they are grateful; but the truth is, we are grateful to them. They came here asking for nothing more than a chance to work hard, and #COVID19 took that from them. Providing some support, to help them get through a hard time, is the least we could do. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

All of these stories and many others we heard because these individuals sent messages of gratitude to the organizations who work with them, for the support they got through the Collaborative and the Resiliency Fund. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are already hearing back about the impact the Collaborative is having. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Additional support is coming from the @UnitedWay, Cradle to Career Grants, the Fireman Family, and Tomfohrde Foundation. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Major donations are from the Klarman Family Foundation and the Open Society Foundation as part of its global initiative to combat the effects of COVID-19 in vulnerable communities around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I’m grateful to announce new contributions totaling $1.75 million to the Boston Immigrant COVID-19 Collaborative. https://t.co/w3jQ9ll1XE — PolitiTweet.org
