I am proud to join with House colleagues in filing budget amendment #1357, which raises over $1 billion in new revenue, largely from the top 1% of Massachusetts households. #PeoplesBudget #FundOurFuture #HousingForAll #FreeTheT #mapoli wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…

Happy #InternationalWorkersDay!

Lyft and Uber drivers are striking in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Washington, D.C. starting May 8. Don’t those apps while drivers strike for better pay!

I was so happy to spend the last Friday night of the decade meeting with the Alliance of Cambridge Tenants to share my own story of growing up in public housing while making plans for the January 14th hearing for the Tenant Protection Act. #HousingForAll #CambMa #HomesGuarantee

When I voted against the war in Iraq in 2002, I feared it would lead to greater destabilization of the region. That fear unfortunately turned out to be true. The U.S. has lost approximately 4,500 brave troops, tens of thousands have been wounded, and we’ve spent trillions.

As Trump carelessly escalates tensions with Iran, remember how many times these 2020 candidates voted to give Trump a larger military budget: Bernie: 0 Warren: 2 Klobuchar: 3 Booker: 3 Bennet: 3 #NoWarWithIran

I was so excited to accept the Cambridge NAACP MLK vanguard award on behalf of Bernie Sanders this weekend and meet these incredible people in person. Thank you Kenneth Reeves for the honor!

MIT has given some of its grad students a month's notice to accept 50% rent increases ($2,200+ for a 1-bdrm). This isn't okay. MIT is a tax-exempt non-profit and the largest landholder in Cambridge. The administration has a responsibility to do better chng.it/My75HcCf

This morning, we rallied for Bernie Sanders on Boston Common! This afternoon, we’re knocking doors in #CambMa. This is how we build the movement to defeat Trump and win a livable future for the 99% in this country! #NotMeUs

TODAY --> #VoteForBernie

This week in Massachusetts, Bernie Sanders won the cities of Lawrence, Chelsea, Malden, Everett, Revere, Lynn, Worcester, Lowell, Fitchburg, and New Bedford. These are multiracial, working-class communities — so important to our campaign to defeat Trump and transform our country!

Across the country, #BlackLivesMatter organizers are calling for a reallocation of resources away from policing, and that's why I stand with #CambMA City Councillors Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler and Quinton Zondervan in support of their policy order to begin the effort to #DefundThePolice in Cambridge.

Over the past ten days, I've been in conversation with colleagues, advocates, and constituents on the need to ban the use of tear gas by law enforcement in Massachusetts. I'm pleased to report @RepLizMiranda is preparing a bill to do this and a lot more! repmikeconnolly.org/next_steps_ban…

Just got word that Cambridge Ward 1 Dems have passed a resolution in support of H.3924, which would lift the statewide ban on rent control. That means that half of the city’s ward committees have come out in support. Here’s what that looks like in coloring book form:

To address the harm caused at last week’s Cambridge Democrats meeting, and for the good of the Democratic Party, I call on George Goverman and Jim Roosevelt to resign from all party roles they hold. For Jim, this includes resigning from Democratic Party Rules/Bylaws cambridgeday.com/2021/01/19/hom…
