Wishing a happy and joyous Thanksgiving to everyone this season! On this day, I’m thankful for Pine Street Inn , ABCD , and all of the other wonderful organizations in our district.

Just reading this brings tears to my eyes. The awareness for how young, innocent and traumatized these children are. And imagining what they have endured these last 6 weeks.

Thank god they are coming home. May this lead to the freeing of ALL the hostages.

I joined Maura Healey as she announced the new Hate Crimes Awareness & Response Team that will ensure communities have the resources & support to respond to address hate.
