Amazing woman, leader, thinker. Can’t wait to learn more about the program and to follow the young women who follow in your path @greenreaper. Kudos @CNT_tweets !

On Human Rights Day may we not forget about two sides of the same city.

We call on the @CityofCT to release land for housing, we call on the Mayor @geordinhl to adopt an inclusionary housing promptly.

My kids' schools open in a month

Have been talking to school leaders (unions, superintendents) across the US about how to keep schools safe

We have 5 tools

And if we use some combination of them, we can get all kids back to school safely, full-time

So what are they?

If you rent your home, it's important that you know that our current eviction moratorium (through June 30, 2021) requires you to submit a form to your landlord. You can find the forms in English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean here: https://t.co/5znq9ifDd0.
