“RAGA prosecutors share a hatred of reproductive rights, a love of guns, and an obsession with persecuting the LGBTQ community.” All connected - guns used to maintain power and assert an oppressive worldview. All supported by this very scary organization.

IDK, seems like you can’t trust a man to know what’s flying at the Supreme Court if he doesn’t even know what’s flying at his own house. 🤷‍♀️

“‘The park to me is a profound testament that Tyler’s life mattered,’ Remy Lawrence, Tyler’s mother, said Monday. ‘Although he was only on this earth for 13 years, Tyler made quite a mark, quite an impression, in people’s hearts.’” bostonglobe.com/2024/05/20/met…

This incident, where protesters basically shut down an art exhibit about Palestinians in the West Bank, is so upsetting. Palestinians have experienced trauma, and they have a right to be heard. Shouting down someone else’s story is no path to peace. wbur.org/news/2024/05/2…

“Acknowledging someone else’s trauma doesn’t lessen your own. We’ve got a whole lot of people… so committed to their narrative that anything that challenges it, that pushes back in any way, is seen as not just uncomfortable but inherently threatening.” open.substack.com/pub/ruthzakari…

#UniversalBasicIncome is good public policy. It’s good for public health. It’s public safety too - communities are safer when people have what they need to be safe and well. Let’s do this Massachusetts. #mapoli bostonglobe.com/2024/05/27/met…

“A nonprofit being launched in Boston in July… aims to fill this need by offering low-interest loans of up to $15,000, along with financial planning and community support, for formerly incarcerated residents.” Way more of this, please. bostonglobe.com/2024/05/27/bus…

My heart is broken over Rafah. Widespread death and destruction are no path to peace. The path forward cannot be littered with the bodies of children. We can argue about who is to blame until the end of time. But too many children no longer have any time. It has to stop.

“As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused.” Funny how Sam Alito believes in choice and autonomy for his wife but not for any other woman in the United States.

This is devastating. A 16yo shot and killed by the stepfather accused of raping her. The man who stole her childhood also stole her future. I don’t even have the words. Six DV murder/suicides in MA so far this year. All with guns. Absolutely devastating. bostonglobe.com/2024/05/31/met…

This is child abuse. We have a whole generation of kids traumatized by constant news of gun violence, active shooter drills, and swatting incidents. Cops and school officials thought this was a good idea? As a parent and a gun violence prevention advocate, I am beyond livid.

Today June 7th is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. At the Coalition, we #wearorange because MA is in the midst of a public health crisis, and every person in every zip code deserves to live free from the threat of gun violence.
