Honored to have been presented tonight with Legislative Champion award from @alzheimersmanh for my work during pandemic in support of those with dementia. So very many with dementia were lost to COVID. May their memories be a blessing.
Proud to have voted to move #FairShareAmendment to the ballot for the voters of MA to decide. ConCon voted 159-41 in favor. It's time for million-dollar earners to pay their fair share to support the public services we all depend on. https://t.co/sGRFEtqL6i
MAZEL TOV! to House Ways & Means Chair @RepMichlewitz for receiving #LegislativeLeadership award from @BostonJCRC for your commitment to serving the most vulnerable and social justice. Wonderful event last night with legislators, staff, the Jewish community and allies. https://t.co/5viZwdW9Fb
Proud that the House passed my legislation that requires full disclosure by long term care facilities of the cases and deaths. The situation in nursing homes is alarming! https://t.co/vnY7A9cdvp
Honored to receive Legislator of the Year award from @Dignity_MA , a group dedicated to improved public services for those who are faced with the challenges of age and/or disability. Loved that the award is a fabulous painting by 93 years young talented artist. https://t.co/feN51efgFN
RT @ACLU_Mass: We've said it before and we'll say it again: We can't arrest our way our of a #PublicHealth and housing crisis.
