I urgently need all Bostonians to complete the #2020Census by TOMORROW, Oct 15th. Boston relies on the funding that comes from the Census. As we continue to recover from #COVID19, filing out the Census helps Boston access crucial federal resources for our ongoing relief efforts.
Thank you @AACABoston, @EdforBoston, @TuftsMedSchool for this important @BOS311 event in Chinatown to help educate and to promote our 24/7 City resource line to residents.
@marty_walsh’s highly trained Reps are here for you 365 days a year! ☎️ Dial 3-1-1 or tweet @BOS311 📱
Today, joined @uscensusbureau in encouraging Chinatown resides to complete the #2020Census. It’s critical to have an accurate count. The census impacts funding for public education, social services. Regardless of your immigration status: Everyone Counts in the 2020Census!#bospoli
At today’s cleanup sponsored by @BCNCInc & Chinatown residents, I had the opportunity to talk w/residents about the importance of completing the @ma2020census. Everyone Counts in the 2020 Census! If you haven’t already, PLEASE complete the census. #bospoli
Calling for hearing today @BOSCityCouncil on pest control & illegal dumping. Many neighbors contacted me regarding rise in pest/rodent activity recently, along w illegal dumping in residential & commercial districts. Look forward to discussion on quality of life issues #bospoli

Last night the MA House passed TOPA (Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act) as an amendment to the Economic Development Bill! TOPA gives tenants a shot at ownership when buildings are sold, key to preventing displacement. #TimeforTOPA

We remember Tunney Lee (李燦輝, 1931-2020) scholar, teacher, and activist, who educated, mobilized, and inspired many. He was a dedicated and generous supporter to BCNC and he played an integral role in the development of Pao Arts Center. Tunney, you will be greatly missed.
We knew this, but good to see numbers. Researchers expected ‘outrageously high’ discrimination against Black renters. What they found was worse than imagined - The Boston Globe https://t.co/4SN3T6qaqY
