Dear politicians/political influencers:
When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.
Don’t just quote him.
Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.
Its always a pleasure to take part in supporting our courageous congresswoman Pressley . Thank you for your leadership and dedication to uplifting marginalized voices of all backgrounds.

There's no justification for antisemitism, Islamophobia, or any other form of hate on college campuses.
No matter your background or faith, you have a right to show up as your authentic self, without fear or discrimination.
Let's build a future rooted in radical love—not hate.
Here at Cambridge City Hall this evening to reiterate my call for a #CeasefireNow.
I stand in solidarity with Jews, Muslims, Palestinians, Israelis, and people of all faiths and backgrounds who are calling for peace, for de-escalation, for the safe return of hostages, for the delivery of humanitarian aid, and for an end to the killing of innocent civilians.
I condemn Hamas’ horrific October 7th attack on Israel, and I support Israel’s right to defend itself.
At the same time, I recognize the systemic oppression of the Palestinian people by the Israeli government, and how this contributes to a horrific cycle of violence. I believe that Palestine deserves to be free.
In the words of Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, “vengeance is not a foreign policy doctrine.” Thank you to @RepPressley for being a national leader in the call for a ceasefire. And thank you to all of the activists who are holding the U.S. government and its officials accountable in this moment of profound consequence.
As State Representative, I continue to stand in support of our First Amendment and Article XVI rights — rights that give us all the freedom to criticize our own government and the actions of other governments, as well.
I recognize the pain, hurt, anguish, and fear so many in our community are feeling right now, and I hope that we can hold each other in our hearts, even when we disagree or see things from a different perspective.
As Congresswoman Pressley has stated: “Every action taken by policymakers in this moment should be in pursuit of peace – not an escalation of violence and bloodshed.” I hope the council will take action this evening to join the call for a ceasefire now.
