@GBHNews@GBH@unitehere
We are the Pavement workers union and we are here to fight for a fair contract and the right to organize. Yes, it is bagels we fight for, but we fight for roses too.
I stand with the workers of Pavement Coffee and congratulate them as they begin the process of forming a union. I encourage @PavementCoffee management to recognize the union voluntarily and to not interfere with the worker’s right to organize. #workingclasssolidarity
@qzondervan's idea to create a municipal bond fund specifically allocated to making homeownership more accessible to Black and Brown communities is the EXACT kind of policy work we need more of from the #CambMA city council. #mapoli#affordablehousing

What is it like to be unhoused in @CambMA? What would a "return to normal" mean for those without housing? And what is the fight for housing like in Cambridge politics? More on @thecrimson@crimsonFM story that @talia_m_blatt and I worked on for months:

@jacobinmag Amazon threatened to close its doors if it unionized. That’s what caused it to fail. People didn’t want to be out a job where it’s the only game in town.
Great to see coverage of @Boston_DSA endorsees in Somerville.
"The newly endorsed candidates define socialism as ... increasing tenant protections and bringing the energy grid under municipal control to limiting the police budget and investing in community land trusts."
“I know people that are 50 something years old, from Cambridge, and they're homeless in front of the building they were born in,” O.C. said.
O.C.'s story reveals that the city Cambridge is NOT acting in the best interest of low-income community members.

📢Tear Gas Ban PASSED out of committee! Final vote next Thursday. This Ordinance will ban tear gas outright, strictly regulate chemical & kinetic crowd control weapons, and establish clear guidelines for pepper spray.
#EchoParkRiseUp has exposed the police-prison logics of “homeless management” — of how the liberal offer of shelter & services, always tied to carceral rules & inevitably temporary — is undergirded by police violence. The police AND the liberal lubricators have to be abolished.
