May God comfort his family, the IOP community, and all who mourn this devastating loss.

[Kim Janey @Kim_Janey]

So sad to learn of the passing of my friend, @HarvardIOP Director and former mayor, @settiwarren. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with and learn from this selfless servant leader during my time as an IOP Fellow.

[Kim Janey @Kim_Janey]

From his military service to his leadership as Mayor of Newton, to his mentorship of the next generation of students—and his devotion as a husband and father—Setti’s legacy will continue to plant seeds of opportunity for generations to come.

Where’s Wu? We missed you!! ✨🙌🏽

This daughter of Roxbury reconnected with this son of Dorchester! Two former mayors, one mission: building a more equitable future. Great conversation with @marty_walsh on leadership, economic mobility, and what’s next for our city. #Boston #Leadership #bospoli

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Great piece by @DarrickHamilton discussing the realities of banking discrimination. 👇

Yesterday, the MA legislature passed additional funding for the emergency shelter system & a concerning provision that will cap the length of stay of most families in-shelter to 9 months.
