As the temperatures get colder this week, it is essential that we support and look out for each other, while also making sure we are observing #COVID19 public health guidelines. If you see someone who appears to be in distress please call 911. https://t.co/nKUTThkaXJ — PolitiTweet.org

In Boston, we know that everyone deserves a place to call home. I want to thank the Neighborhood Housing Trust & the Community Preservation Committee, for making $34 million in funding available to create & preserve 841 income-restricted units in our city. https://t.co/aAC217CaeT — PolitiTweet.org

REMINDER: Today, the @CityofBoston is aligning with the state’s updated reopening guidance with three exceptions: - Indoor performance venues will not reopen - Certain indoor recreation activities will not reopen - Live music performances at restaurants will not be allowed https://t.co/Ssg0b09rxv — PolitiTweet.org

Welcome back to school to all the families and students who returned today! We’re so happy to see you safely in our school buildings. Thank you to all of the families, teachers, staff, and administrators for your continued dedication to our students. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a range of events planned for Women’s History Month, through @BostonWomen and Executive Director Alex Valdez. https://t.co/tE5SNWwNmA. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Women have also taken on a huge burden in the home, reminding us that we have a lot of work to do to achieve a fair economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This month is an opportunity to celebrate everything that women do for our city, especially during this difficult last year. Women in city government and throughout our communities have led many of our most important responses. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today is the beginning of Women’s History Month. In Boston, we believe in empowering women and protecting their rights. That’s been a hallmark of my administration and something we’re proud of. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

As we move forward, we will take every opportunity we can to keep our school communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In addition to all the work on spacing and air quality, we are moving forward with pooled #COVID19 testing for students whose families consent. It’s a good system for preventing the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to thank bus drivers and transportation staff for their strong on-time performance this morning. I want to thank everyone who has worked to prepare our classrooms to the highest safety standards anywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to thank parents, guardians, teachers, and school leaders for the tremendous work they have done to keep our students learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This morning I was at the Martin Luther King K-8 school in Dorchester, to welcome young students back to the building. This is the most important thing happening in our city right now. Most students have been out of physical classrooms since March 17 of last year. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’ll continue to bring students safely back into schools, as long as public health data supports it. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today, @BostonSchools welcomed all students from pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade back to in-person classrooms, if their families opted in. They join the high priority students who have been in school since the fall. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Applications moving forward will be reviewed on a rolling basis. You can learn more, or submit an application, at https://t.co/GskuLEYQ2L — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This program was made stronger by community input, so we welcome continued conversation. The online application has been live since December 10, and we’ve already received over 370 applications, with more than 150 approved. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

.@DisabilityBOS plays an important role in the review process, and is again working with restaurants to distribute mobility ramps. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The program brought much-needed vitality back to our streets and small businesses. We are bringing it back for 2021, starting on April 1, or as soon as the weather permits it. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are incredibly grateful for our restaurants and we know what a struggle this past year has been. Outdoor dining was one of the bright spots of this experience last summer and fall. We worked together to create safe and accessible conditions on both public and private space. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

As always, economic recovery depends on our public health progress. That’s how we’ll move forward. Small businesses can learn more at our weekly Small Business Conference Call tomorrow (Tuesday) at 3pm. You can register at https://t.co/klYcRiqgYL. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We aren’t moving forward with live music in restaurants, opening indoor performance venues, or opening higher-contact indoor recreation until at least March 22. On those steps, as well as Phase 4, we will move forward on March 22, if our data and public health guidance support it — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are lifting the capacity limit at restaurants; while requiring 6 feet of space between tables, 6 people maximum per table, and 90-minute limits on seating. https://t.co/W4fmeusVbR — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today, March 1, we are moving up to 50% maximum capacity at many indoor businesses. We are moving forward to allow the use of fitting rooms in retail stores. https://t.co/si7wLcIKgu — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I want to be clear that Boston is also moving forward, but we have some important exceptions to the changes going into effect today. This is consistent with our cautious approach. We follow carefully our local case data and public health guidance. https://t.co/J9wnTrTjfR https://t.co/FRbrm00Nrp — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

.@MassGovernor announced last week that the State is moving forward in reopening, starting today with Phase 3, Step 2; and starting on March 22 with Phase 4, Step 1. — PolitiTweet.org

This Friday, we are launching a mobile vaccination pilot clinic at Martin Luther King Towers in Roxbury, and more clinics will be offered at additional developments next week. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re going to continue to provide access for vulnerable residents who may face barriers. In Boston, over 100 senior affordable housing buildings will be vaccinating residents and staff on-site, and some have already begun. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This weekend alone, 1,600 people were vaccinated at the Reggie Lewis. Moving forward, we’ll continue to hold 50% of the slots for eligible people of color, working through community health centers and city agencies. — PolitiTweet.org
