Since my June 7th announcement, we have had an incredible response to my campaign. Since the beginning, we have been building a movement driven by inclusion, dignity, and respect.
Our movement puts the health, well-being, and dignity of every resident in Massachusetts at the heart of decision-making. The people of Massachusetts have responded in overwhelmingly positive ways to these values.
As we close the door on 2021 and prepare ourselves for the new year, I ask that you consider contributing to our campaign. We must remain focused, energized, and sustain our momentum throughout this campaign towards election day in November.
This race is too important for anyone to remain on the sidelines. And, every dollar in this race counts towards victory. Thank you for your faith and support. Happy New Year! secure.actblue.com/donate/eoy4tg?…

Government leaders have failed to put the health, well-being & dignity of every resident at the center of our #COVID19 response. Many of us are suffering unnecessarily and every sector is impacted by preventable challenges. 🧵 1/
This all could have been avoided. Our government leaders could have prioritized the needs of residents rather than protecting special interests and getting lulled into believing that a privatized response would save us. 2/ #mapoli#bospoli
We know how stressed our community members feel, how our nurses & doctors are #burntout, how much our teachers & students want to safely return to the classroom & how worried our parents are for their children and their aging parents, never mind themselves. 3/
1/ A dozen of my colleagues and I urge @MassGovernor to halt his “companion system” for vaccinations in MA. The strategy allows healthy, younger residents to get vaccinated ahead of seniors, essential workers, and others most at-risk of death/illness. #MApoli#healthcare
2/ The “companion system” fails to fully address the barriers that prevent residents from accessing the larger vaccination sites and puts our seniors at risk.
3/ Instead, we’re proposing stronger alternatives to better protect public health and achieve our state’s vaccination goals. For instance, those most vulnerable and those who have been historically marginalized should be prioritized in the wait list system.
