Free PCR testing is a vital safety measure that absolutely needs to be maintained. Tell Governor Healey that these vital sites must be kept open.

[Massachusetts Coalition for Health Equity @MAHealthEquity]

📢Tell @MassGovernor: Keep Stop the Spread Sites Open.📢

PCR tests are the “gold standard” of COVID tests, detecting infection earlier than rapid tests, and producing far less false negatives.

We must preserve this free public service. #FreeFastPCR4All

A few more thoughts about our upcoming symposium that I was going to save until our event, but here goes: as a Black & disabled woman, an attorney & advocate & brand new “academic,”

Do you take the T? Please use this tweet as an invitation to VENT

Comment and RT your thoughts on the new speed restrictions on ALL @MBTA trains and what they'll mean for you. We want to hear from you on @GBHNews!

@MassRenews Thank you! It's been an absolutely pleasure working with you folks to bring environmental and disability advocates together

[Disability Policy Consortium @DPC_MA]

@Delta Still no reply? We'd hope your team would be concerned at this breakdown in communication impacting a disabled customer.

[Disability Policy Consortium @DPC_MA]

@Delta a blind employee of ours arriving in Boston today had the supports we requested ignored, and when our ED arrived at the airport to meet him, no one had any idea where he was. Can you please connect us to your accessibility point person so we can discuss the matter?

26 million people already applied for #CancelStudentDebt relief, and 16 million were approved before Republicans decided to play politics with people’s lives.

Enough.

@POTUS did his part. The Supreme Court must let the people receive this critical relief.

Medicaid saves lives. Medicaid enables independence. Medicaid is essential.
