UPDATE: The e-bikes amendment sailed through with a "YES!" Big THANKS to @SalDiDomenico for putting forth a micro-mobility amendment in the transpo bond bill, and for all those in the Senate who support defining e-bikes in MA to get more people on more bikes! #ebikes#ridefarther
A good 1st step but we need to re-think what role do we want the Police to play? A total ground up review must happen including a complete change in the Police culture.
I’ve signed on to former President Obama’s Mayoral Pledge and “commit to review, engage, report and reform common-sense limits on police use of force.”
.@MassSierraClub joins @transitmatters, @StreetsBoston & other allies in calling @MBTA to ensure buses are not used to transport arrested people & service is not shut down during/ after protests against # PoliceBrutality. Sign the petition. https://t.co/iQn6PuD665
Please keep bikes off of the Cold Spring Park Trails. There are reports of increasing amounts of bikes on these trails, which are too narrow to safely accommodate bikes. Bikes can also damage the trails in areas that go through sensitive wetlands.
GA is the only state with two U.S. Senate races on the ballot in 2020. We must decide if we want two Senators who, when they received a private briefing on #COVID19, took that information to make a profit — or if we want Senators who actually think about the people first. #gapol
I can’t wait for the next public meeting on a protected bike lane. “You self quarantined for 2 months to save lives but now you can’t sacrifice a parking spot to do the same??”
#Coronavirus testing must be made free to the public if we are going to understand the scope of this crisis.
Anything less will undermine America’s effort to protect our communities and save lives.
RT if you agree #FamiliesFirst
@bryanbarash Heard from daughter in Baltimore that the reason schools there are closing despite having no verified #COVID19 cases is because of the number of people who are homeless and concerns how fast an outbreak can happen if it gets into this vulnerable population.
Reasons we should suspend mortgage payments and ban evictions:
It is very hard to self-quarantine when you don't have a home.
The end.
