All large-scale gatherings like parades and festivals, that are permitted by the City, are suspended through Labor Day. In the interest of public health, no permit will be issued for an event before 9/7 that could draw a large crowd. https://t.co/Sm1J8sPmUb — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In recent years, she was a dedicated and dynamic volunteer for @AgeStrongBOS. She never stopped helping others and caring for her community. She was a healer in our city and her passing is a tremendous loss. I ask everyone in the @CityofBoston to pray for the entire family. https://t.co/0ByuIgV2o1 — PolitiTweet.org

Tina and her family need us to wrap our arms around them right now. Yesterday, Tina’s mother, Zoila Weddborn, lost her life to the COVID virus. Zoila worked for 40 years as a nurse at @The_BMC, where she received her final care and treatment. https://t.co/mjidQ3H79S — PolitiTweet.org

This Sunday morning at 9 a.m. we will be connecting virtually with the same love and determination as always. You can get involved at https://t.co/toLgNRqiry. — PolitiTweet.org

The Walk for Peace represents the deepest form of resilience in our city: survivors who turn their grief into healing and strength for the whole community. As we’ve seen recently, even one act of violence is a terrible tragedy that harms many people. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I’ve been walking with her family and thousands of other people in the @LDBpeaceInst Walk for Peace since those early days. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

24 years ago, Tina Chery started the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace, in memory of her son Louis D. Brown. Louis was a young peace activist who lost his life to gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @CityOfBoston: Are you an #EastBoston or #Roxbury resident? We want to hear from you. The City is building a long-term transportation… — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Whatever your role, moms are working hard, caring for our families and caring for our communities. I want to thank you for all you do, and wish you a happy and meaningful Mother’s Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Many teachers are moms and many moms are now teacher’s assistants or home school principals, however you want to describe it. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

My last word today is a thank you to all the moms. Many moms are essential workers, including doctors and nurses, food workers and cleaners, public employees and many members of my staff. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I know for my mom, I will be leaving a gift at the house and taking extra time to talk with her on the phone. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It’s a Mother’s Day tradition for many families, that will have to wait until next year. But that doesn’t mean you can’t connect. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

And we need you not to meet up anywhere, either. For example, Lilac Sunday at the Arboretum is cancelled. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re all thinking about our moms right now. Sunday is another tough day to spend apart. But if you don’t live in the same household, we need everyone to resist the temptation to visit. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re a city that’s diverse, creative, compassionate, and resilient. Those are the qualities we need now, to stay strong and get through this challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

These are parades that celebrate neighborhoods. They celebrate ethnic communities. They commemorate the history of our country. They’re a good reminder of who we are and what we’re fighting for. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re going to be looking to do creative alternatives with the events that the @CityofBoston hosts. I urge everyone who organizes annual parades and celebrations to preserve the spirit of your event. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This is a public health decision and we’re confident it’s the right decision. But it affects some of our most beloved annual events, and that’s hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

If your event brings crowds together in close contact--like a concert, a road race, or a flag raising-- you should start looking at alternatives now. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

For smaller events, we will be looking at them on a case-by-case basis as we move through the summer months. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I can announce that parades and festivals will not take place this summer in the City of Boston, up to and including Labor Day on September 7. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are planning a healthy re-opening and an equitable recovery process---as soon as the health data tells us it is safe. But we do not envision a point this summer when it will make sense to have large crowds gathered in close contact for prolonged periods. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Overall, it’s an extraordinary testament to the generosity of Boston’s people and organizations; and to the hard work of public employees in City Hall and dedicated partners around the city. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

And we have already distributed over $16 million to 180 organizations that are directly meeting the deepest needs in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Very proud to announced the #BostonResiliencyFund has surpassed the $30 million mark for total money raised, from over 5,700 donors. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It was the first day we counted more recoveries than new cases---which means our total active cases went down. One day of data does NOT mark a trend or turning point, but it’s a nice precedent to see. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In Boston we now have confirmed 2,882 full recoveries, with 217 recorded yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Tune in live at 1:30 p.m. as I discuss updates related to #coronavirus on https://t.co/ifDgvyeO0i. https://t.co/HQ0dIR4YoB — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Be a good neighbor and help @BostonPWD keep our city clean during the #COVID19 pandemic. Please properly dispose of surgical masks, gloves and other trash. — PolitiTweet.org
