Because I peacefully protested vaccine mandates in Boston, I became an Enemy of the State.
I have been surveilled, tracked, targeted, arrested & continue to be selectively persecuted by the Commonwealth.
Here’s a few documented examples:
I was surveilled by the City of Boston cause my kids & I couldn’t/wouldn’t wear face masks at the public library in Feb ‘22.
Staff were directed to monitor my movement online, collected photos & labeled me by assumed political affiliation.
PR campaign & arrest followed.
I was tracked by city & state employees cause my kids & I couldn’t/wouldn’t show proof of Covid vaccination at public museums in Feb ‘22. They didn’t want me to say “bad things.”
Warnings were sent including to the State House. Not ironic I was arrested there, 11 days later.
I was targeted cause I was part of a select few who peacefully protested Mayor Wu’s mandates.
Rep. Pressley & DA Hayden said we were violent supremacists & called for an “end” to our behavior. Their accusations were lies but their solidarity was not. I remain charged by the DA.
I was arrested at the Massachusetts State House on March 1, 2022 because I couldn’t/wouldn’t show proof of Covid vaccination to enter.
I was refused medical & religious exemptions. This was 11 days after Mayor Wu said there’d be “accountability” (for the mandate protesting).
I’ve been selectively persecuted because I protested vaccine & mask mandates.
I was arrested on 3/1/22 for not having a vax pass at the State House. I remain charged.
Climate protesters were arrested in thongs at the same State House. Their charges were quickly dismissed.
I was aggressively arrested & physically bruised by State Police cause I couldn’t/wouldn’t show proof of vaccination for entry to the State House.
Yet they cuffed my hands, shackled my ankles & charged me w/ assaulting a court officer.
Almost 2 yrs later & I’m still charged.

White people not allowed at the public Christmas party a problem? 🎄🎅
How about unvaxxed people not allowed inside the State House?💉
Separate is NEVER equal!
