In hard times, we all need to come together. The one key piece missing from the puzzle right now is federal support. A national relief and stimulus package is long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

I give tremendous credit to Superintendent Brenda Cassellius and her team for doing this work and prioritizing the students who most need our support. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a level of protection that goes beyond CDC guidelines, beyond state guidelines, and beyond what the vast majority of districts are doing. — PolitiTweet.org

I want to be clear: the School Department, with the support of this entire Administration, has thoroughly prepared these 28 schools for #COVID19 safety: — PolitiTweet.org

These are young people who face risks to their wellbeing when they are not in school. And, they are students whose families have opted in to in-person learning. We have been doing everything we can to get them back in school. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Getting our young people back into school is one of those essential needs. A month ago, on November 16, we opened 4 schools for 200 high needs students. And today, 28 @BostonSchools are reopening with in-person learning for roughly 1700 of our highest needs students. — PolitiTweet.org

This is an effort to reduce overall activity outside the home, using the mechanisms afforded by the phases of the state reopening plan. In fact, we want to minimize the negative impact on working people and small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In addition, we have been in close contact with communities across Greater Boston. We are going to take a regional approach, for maximum effectiveness. I know that Lynn, Newton, Somerville, Brockton, Winthrop, and Arlington are moving forward today. — PolitiTweet.org

Our focus in planning this action has been to prioritize essential activities, like getting more high-needs children back into schools. — PolitiTweet.org

We must continue to demand an end to gun violence. No family or community should ever have to experience this pain, suffering, and trauma. That’s the work we commit to, today and every day — to create a safer, better world for all of our children to grow up in. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

8 years ago today, our hearts broke when we lost 20 beautiful children and 6 courageous staff members from #SandyHook Elementary School to senseless gun violence. Not a day goes by that we don’t keep their families in our prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

#TransitIsEssential for our frontline workers. Today, I'm urging the @MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board to delay their vote, and continue working with our state and federal partners to find the funding our transit system needs to support our residents. https://t.co/c3LIbzVo3w — PolitiTweet.org

Our recovery from #COVID19 must include equitable climate action, not only to address short-term issues, but to ensure climate resiliency for future generations. Thank you for having me on. — PolitiTweet.org
