@ionplustv, something strange happened in 80013, ionplus was always 59-3, but now it's been replaced by court tv. Any suggestions on how to get ionplus back? My mom was looking forward to a weekend of Murdoch!

"The time for talk is over. I want to speak to the entrepreneurs here- the reason your are an entrepreneur- you are an optimist there is a redemptive quality of making a choice that you will be successful regardless of the external factors." Keith Chaney@bostonchamber

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

"As a business owner facing COVID19, I communicated with our clients and customers- what does there before, during and post COVID look like? We had to adapt our value proposition and innovate. We learned our customers needed options when contracts are being cancelled/postponed."

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

"Using the word minority is a misuse of the word. Black and Brown folks are the majority. I wish we could calibrate our language so that it reflects our society. Otherwise this is another way that we're perpetuating systemic racism." Dr. Lee Pelton @bostonchamber

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

@Gillete has participated in #Pacesetters but we can and must do more. For those of you who control businesses and can make a difference, there is a practical way to move good intentions to practical applications through the #Pacesetters program." -Gary Coombe @bostonchamber

[Boston Chamber @bostonchamber]

Racism is embedded in the health care system and it is a public emergency....[we have had] enough talk and need more action. -@andrewdreyfus of @BCBSMA #FUNinBOS

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

"I fear for my life and for my sons. Why did the outrage not come sooner? We need to be passionately outraged and committed to doing something. We have a model of passionately committed business leaders in #Boston like Bob Rivers of @easternbank." -Herby Duverné @bostonchamber

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

"It's systemic racism, redlining was a partnership of govt and banks. We need to change the way we underwrite banking, how we assess risk. To see Banks not just throw $$ at issues and convos-- I want bold moves where actions and goals follow communities of color, not lead them."

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

@bostonchamber #FUNinBoston "The basis of American Capitalism is based on racism. For the banks, how do we take that responsibility-not assuage guilt with conversations- but to bank people. To affect the wealth gap, let's get people mortgages and engaged in banking." -Malia Lazu

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

tune into a program already in progress-- white ppl, let's not pretend that this is new. That the conversations haven't been had. That we white ppl have not had all of the resources and opportunities to educate ourselves and do better
2/2 @Amavensworld @bostonchamber #FUNinBoston

[Lyndsay Whitehurst @LynLovesLocal]

Let's not move too quickly past Anna's point. "Black people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. These conversations have been happening every week and every month for years." Just because white folx have decided to 1/2 @Amavensworld @bostonchamber #FUNinBoston
