To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家.
This is our city.
We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone.

@GBHNews@MayorWu@RepPressley@RepLynch Another strong moment for Wu, telling Paul Gosar he’s trafficking in a false narrative about the dangers posed by immigrants and then pleading for comprehensive immigration reform. And Gosar just kind of…stopped? #mapoli#bospoli@gbhnews
S/o to Mayor @wutrain's commitment to food security + nutrition for Boston students + her strong recognition of the bond w/ WMA farmers like Joe Czajkowski in Hadley, which makes it possible.
Glad to join the Mayor, @RepMcGovern, Joe, @MassDeptAgr, @MAFoodSys, @MAFarmtoSchool.
Last week, @BostonSchools hosted the @SchoolNutritionAssociation’s annual national conference, demonstrating our best practices, such as cooking fresh, local, and culturally relevant meals on-site across the district.
