I love me some Walt Whitman, @MassGovernor. Here are things I’m curious about:
1) Are there any other big aspirations you have for MA’s future aside from figuring out what work will look like in the yrs ahead & “getting there 1st”? Like ending childhood hunger, or

...closing opportunity & achievement gaps in education, or building the greenest economy in the nation, or halving the racial wealth divide in 10 yrs? How do you square being the most popular Gov in America with not using that capital to do something more ambitious for humanity?

2) At 305K vaccine doses deployed a week, how long will it take us to get MA to herd immunity?

3) Do you believe we will achieve racial & ethnic equity in COVID infections w/o a multimillion-dollar investment in outreach & communications to high-risk, vaccine-hesitant, and low-internet-connectivity people, & those w/o cars? @MAPublicHealth @BostonNAACP1911 @AmplifyLatinx

4) Do you believe we will achieve racial & ethnic equity in COVID infections if food service workers, transit workers, and early educators come behind 65-yr-olds in the vaccine priority order?

5) Are you curious enough, @MassGovernor, to try living for a month, and feeding your family for a month, on the wages of one of the 1 in 5 MA households w/children who are food insecure right now?

6) You noted in your speech that our testing infrastructure is “better than last spring.” Is that the right benchmark to shoot for? If not, what is?
@MAPublicHealth

7) How do you walk away from raw, vulnerable, humble conversations with people who’ve suffered racist abuse by police and believe that police should be able to write their own Use of Force standards?

8) Will your state budget proposal tomorrow phase in the low-income-student rate changes in Ch.70 at the same pace as the other rate changes in the #StudentOpportunityAct?
