We must do more, all of us: the @CityofBoston; the @MassGov and all of our 351 cities and towns; and every leader in the private sector. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I don’t want to be back with the @BostonChamber, three years from now, having the same conversation again. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

And that’s why we reorganized city government, putting a Chief of Equity in my cabinet to drive this work forward and make sure everything we do is laser focused on ending systemic racism and achieving racial equity in our city. https://t.co/Nr5gzxd9n7 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

But ending systemic racism goes so much further than police policies. As I said in 2016, it affects every aspect of our society and every kind of opportunity. That’s what systemic means. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In the coming days I will receive the final recommendations of our Police Reform Task Force. We will break new ground in accountability, diversity, and transparency. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

But when George Floyd was murdered in late May of this year, it was clear: we are nowhere near ending systemic racism and achieving justice in our country. This time MUST be different. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

That’s also a lesson in how we are leading in Boston: by tackling inequities head-on and unlocking the immense talent in the Black community and communities of color to build, create, and succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The #COVID19 crisis is a good example. It’s a lesson in systemic inequity and it’s taken intentional work, every day, to address it. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

✅Our school investments ✅ Our housing policies ✅ Our neighborhood investments ✅ Transportation access ✅ Economic vision ✅ Public health mission — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It was the first time in Boston’s history that a mayor put ending systemic racism at the top of our city’s agenda. We have advanced this priority in every aspect of city policy: — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Racial equity is not a new conversation. In 2016, I devoted my @BostonChamber address to calling on our city to dismantle and end systemic racism. https://t.co/7wLEd8ap1K — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

On so many issues, the priorities, the planning, and the investments we made before #COVID19, have put us in a stronger position to respond, recover, and rebuild. https://t.co/hfvtE1aLQN — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today I’m going to talk about how we are advancing these priorities in city government, and what we all must do to stay safe, recover, and rebuild our city. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I am committed to pushing forward a plan for the future because just as we are meeting the needs of this pandemic, we must adapt to meet the economic, social, and global challenges of tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I am dedicated to keeping the residents of our city safe throughout this pandemic; supporting them through whatever hardships they face; addressing the inequities that hold us back; and rebuilding our economy in a way that works for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

My priorities remain clear. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are still in the thick of this fight. #COVID19 is still very much with us. Economic recovery will be a long, hard road. Racial injustice must be addressed and equity must be our shared goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Since the beginning of the #COVID19 pandemic, I knew that we had to closely monitor the data and base our decisions on the latest data. I need everyone to continue to do their part to keep themselves and their fellow Bostonians safe and healthy. https://t.co/MxdujcWK91 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Early on in the #COVID19 crisis, I made decisions—sooner than some were comfortable with—to close @BostonSchools buildings, cancel events, and pause construction. I know why there was hesitancy. What the scientists were telling us was frightening. https://t.co/BJH8mZvcf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The #BostonResiliencyFund has been vital to our response to #COVID19: ✅ $33 million raised ✅ $26 million distributed to 348 organizations ✅ 55% of those organizations are led by a person of color ✅ 58% are led by women ✅ 27% are immigrant-serving organizations https://t.co/TsvwUolYG2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

With #BostonResiliencyFund backing, The Guild expanded its reach from a few hundred neighbors to a total of 30,000 residents, including seniors, families in quarantine, and immigrant households, in neighborhoods across the city. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

They transformed this sanctuary into a relief hub, providing food, supplies, comfort, and care to the families and seniors in their community. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This is The Guild. It’s a refuge, created by Black and Brown Bostonians, where neighbors come together to heal, reclaim, and revitalize their community. When #COVID19 hit, The Guild jumped into action. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today, I’m addressing the leaders, members, and guests of the @BostonChamber under very different circumstances. I’m at a place that helps tell the story of our city, what we’ve been going through this year, how we’ve responded, and how we must move forward together. https://t.co/uyQ482BJri — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In a few minutes I'll be joining the @BostonChamber to discuss our efforts to respond to #COVID19, support our residents and small businesses, and lay the groundwork for a more equitable future. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In #Boston, we know how vital trees are to our quality of life, climate resilience, and environmental justice. Today, I announced #Boston’s first Urban Forest Master Plan to build a more equitable vision for protecting and expanding our tree canopy. https://t.co/Ka8WvMjlvh https://t.co/Vrso01AVMT — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The @CityofBoston has funding available through our Senior Saves Program to ensure that older Bostonians have proper heating systems to stay warm this winter. As the weather begins to cool down, we want to make sure residents are safe and prepared. https://t.co/5hmpOXfKUX — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I thank all the members of the Steering Committee for leading this work as we continue to make progress on our work to better the lives of our residents now and for generations to come. https://t.co/rPSrSs3jSq — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We created the Racial Equity Fund to complement our intentional commitment to embed equity into all City work. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Thursday, October 1 is the first day for in-person learning for Group B of our high-needs students whose families have opted into learning in our school buildings. @BostonSchools has been working hard to ensure that every building is safe for our students to return. https://t.co/xhZcqJL2FR — PolitiTweet.org
