"The real estate transfer fee would not only help fund affordable housing but would also curb corporate speculation on the housing market. Land is not a return on investment — it’s where people live." -- @matt_leming #mapoli

"Massachusetts needs to take the housing crisis seriously. The real estate transfer fee would not only help fund affordable housing but would also curb corporate speculation on the housing market."

I was proud to join @CityLife_Clvu in a rally to support the tenants of 208 Main Street, who are facing a no-fault eviction after the purchase of their apartments by @charlesgate and another LLC. Homes are where our neighbors live, not a return on investment.

🧵‼️ACTION ALERT: Come out this Saturday, 4/20, to rally with the Brooks Park Tenants Association of Medford! This TA includes many Portuguese-speaking tenants resisting mass evictions and rent increases by a new landlord – DAH Medford LLC and Charlesgate Management❌💸. #Medford

I'd like to encourage everyone to vote for Rand Wilson for Democratic State Committee on March 5th. Rand is a lifelong union organizer, and now more than ever, we need representatives who staunchly and tirelessly support workers' rights in the Democratic Party.

[Rand Wilson @randwilson]

I’m running for the @massdems state committee. I am a reform candidate seeking to return the party’s focus to its working class roots. And that starts with more grassroots organizing! https://t.co/LMhLcpgq92

Some photos from the MLK Day Celebration at the West Medford Community Center. I was particularly impressed by the keynote speech from Darryl Owens, who spent his career teaching de-escalation tactics at the Boston Police Academy and offered nuanced views on the subject.
