Marijuana is legal in Massachusetts, but there are still people living with convictions that hold them back.

That doesn’t sit right with me. That's not justice.

I'm using my executive power to pardon all misdemeanor convictions for marijuana possession in Massachusetts.

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

This is a meaningful step toward addressing the harm of cannabis criminalization & setting our communities on a pathway to healing.

Our work to transform the criminal legal system is ongoing, but I'm grateful @MassGovernor is taking critical steps.

Congrats to Franklin Cummings Tech on starting construction on your new building! These are the students who’ll power our economy and clean energy revolution. Can’t wait to see what new opportunities this brings students and Nubian Square.

The First Boston Lunar New Year Festival Gala was grandly held at Boston City Hall on February 10, 2024, marking a significant recognition of the culture of the Asian community in Massachusetts and Boston. This unprecedented celebration received strong support from many groups and sponsors, as well as the tireless efforts of countless volunteers, performers, and the organizing committee.

Special thanks to Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and the collaborative efforts of UCA, NECAA, and APAPA, making this day an official Lunar New Year holiday in Massachusetts.

From Zither performances to choir concerts, from Western music to Eastern dances, every moment showcased the treasures of Asian culture. Let's celebrate this historically significant moment together and thank everyone who made this Lunar New Year Gala a success. Wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Dragon and a happy New Year!

Valentine's Day is not only a day to express love but also a great opportunity to show care and support. UCA takes this occasion to convey special love and care to our community members.

Today, we encourage everyone not only to express love to their close ones but also to show care and support to every member of the community. Whether it's through volunteer service, donating to families in need, or simply passing positive energy to those around us, every contribution can make our community warmer and more united.

This Valentine's Day, let's join together to spread the power of love!
