Meeting starts. All 9 councillors are present in the Sullivan Chamber.
1/ Some of the Jewish community in #CambMA are afraid of antisemitism. I know what fear feels like. My grandmother's barely escaped from the Nazis. In Israel I sat in bomb shelters wearing a gas mask during the Gulf War, lived there when suicide bombers blew up buses and cafes.

2. In solidarity with all victims of violence.

Right now, the most important thing for renters at risk of eviction to understand is that a "Notice To Quit" is NOT an eviction. wgbh.org/news/local-new…
And remember: a landlord cannot evict you, only a Judge can. If you receive a Notice To Quit, any kind of summons or complaint, or even a demanding phone call — please reach out to local, regional, and grassroots resources for help — and don't hesitate to contact me or my office.
Historic municipal installations throughout the #MA7 today #Boston #Everett #CambMA #Chelsea This is a diverse, vibrant, progressive district which has lagged behind in leadership parity & representation for decades
