Join us this Saturday at 10am for a transportation canvass! Our streets should be interconnected, safe, and vibrant — so all Cambridge residents can move around with dignity. 🚴 actionnetwork.org/events/1011-...

This Sunday, @mutualaidmamas.bsky.social is holding a workshop about mutual aid at @portersqbooks.bsky.social (Cambridge): portersquarebooks.com/event/2025-1...

We're alerting residents of a cyanobacteria algae bloom in the Charles River downstream of the River Street/Cambridge Street bridge. www.cambridgepublichealth.org/health-advis... (1/3) @cambridgeday.com @universalhub.com @boston.gov @cambridgemass.bsky.social

Come door knock with me and @votejivan.bsky.social this Saturday from 10am – 1pm, at the @bostondsa.org canvass for both DSA-endorsed Cambridge City Council candidates! actionnetwork.org/events/1011-...

A genocidal, foreign government kidnapped Americans from international waters and there is no information on when they will be released. Every Massachusetts Member of Congress should be demanding the release of all U.S. citizens - including our own residents.

Too many of our leaders see people experiencing homelessness as a problem to get rid of, rather than members of our community who deserve dignity.

Every single day, our newspapers tell us they speak for the wealthy, not for us All renters in this article say they love rent control! But the Boston Globe headline criticizes it as “complicated” & claims it “ratcheted up tensions” (by making renters realize their landlords were breaking the law)

Proud to stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers alongside my DSA comrade @votejivan.bsky.social! Today was a practice picket… we're just getting started. For now, take the "No Contract, No Coffee" pledge at sbworkersunited.org/take-action / follow @sbworkersunited.org + @bostondsa.org for news!

Turns out a lot of people don't even know there is an election coming up. Today we met Patrick, who literally lives under a rock. He was really excited about our plans to make dignified housing affordable for all! Come join us on a canvass & help get the word out! actionnetwork.org/campaigns/ay...

MA residents Torleif and Adnaan Stumo, and everyone else taken from aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla should be immediately freed. It is unconscionable that the Israeli military continues to block humanitarian aid, food, water, and baby formula. End the genocide & surge aid into Gaza NOW.

If you are in Massachusetts and you think you see the ICE gestapo, calling 911 is unlikely to help so instead please call the LUCE Immigration Defense Hotline at 617-370-5023 Visit lucemass.org for more information.

I was happy to get a chance to stop by CCTV and share what our campaign is all about. Even in these dark times, we can make Cambridge a place where everyone can have a dignified home, can access food, and can get around safely. Join us & help us build that reality! 🧱

Warm Up Boston is doing really important mutual aid work supporting unhoused people and fighting back against their criminalization - support them if you can! (Donation info is in the next post in the thread)

the trump admin is trying to bribe schools, including MIT, into stripping trans students’ rights. if MIT caves, they will be turning their backs on Cambridge’s community values and likely violating Massachusetts non-discrimination law. our city will not stand for it.

If you can’t volunteer, please donate! LUCE also has graphics on their website that are easy to download, print, and put up in your neighborhood. Perfect for flyers, stickers, etc. 🧡

Happy October, Cambridge! Early voting begins in 24 days...

@communitypedalpower.org , our local #cambma ebike lending library, has helped our family biking community grow by leaps and bounds. They’re doing a funding drive to increase their capacity, consider throwing them a few bucks. donorbox.org/grow-the-lib...

Praying for the brave activists of the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social as they sail toward Gaza to break the blockade and deliver lifesaving supplies to the Palestinian people.

ICE should not exist.

It's not lost on me that the majority of the folks doing ICE watch stuff in my area of Massachusetts are women, two of whom stopped an abduction with their presence over the weekend. In spite of all the risks, people *are* fighting to protect their neighbors and that should give us hope.

Anyway, this is on my mind because Rümeysa's next hearing is this afternoon at the appeals court in NYC. Members of the public can listen in here starting at 2 pm (possibly a little after): www.ca2.uscourts.gov/calendar.html

“Via video call, Palacio-Morales showed WBZ the wristband he has worn since being taken into custody [by ICE]. He says it has the date of birth and name of an individual that is not him.” #Lowell #Massachusetts #AbolishICE

Join CBS for a bike safety event on Tuesday, October 7, at 6:30 PM at Portico Brewery, just over the line in Somerville in Boynton Yards. This short course will cover the necessary steps you need to take if you are ever in a crash so you are better prepared.

Grateful to the Harvard College Dems for endorsing our campaign!

"Tired of hearing lessons of compassion" is the kind of thing that after you put it down on paper, you should look at it and take stock of your life.

Vassar Street (Cambridge, MA) separated bike lanes striped and signed. Green markings and more flexposts coming soon.

I'm proud to support Cambridge HEART as a community-led approach to public safety and care. I would do all I can on the Council to support their vital work.

Forgot one: “Demand that your local leaders build complete networks of sidewalks and protected bike lanes.”

Climate change is happening NOW, which means more flash floods. Cambridge needs to get more proactive in addressing our sewer overflows, which expose residents to dangerous untreated wastewater. I support better infrastructure in Alewife Brook + other climate solutions to address this. #mapoli

Are we going to talk about the fact that we have a clear pattern of ICE taking children as hostages here in Massachusetts, #mapoli, or are we just going to continue to yammer about how we support public safety? Because this isn’t safe at all.

Free universal child care is a win-win-win policy. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

This is so violent. If you see ICE in Mass, call the LUCE line ASAP. (617) 370-5023 Save this # to your phone.

Shana tova to the Cambridge Jewish community as Rosh Hashanah begins tonight! In our campaign, we know that Arab, Jewish, and Muslim safety are intertwined EVERYWHERE, and we’re committed to fighting for all of our people in the new year.

Great opportunity tonight www.eventbrite.com/e/standing-u...

Six months ago, I wrote about how masked federal agents had snatched Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts graduate student, off the street less than a mile from where I live. bsky.app/profile/some... 1/11

ICE and Homeland Security appear to be abducting lawful residents based on racial profiling. This is un-American and making our community less safe.

The primary antidote to despair that I've found is getting engaged in local organizing and volunteering. Find a group doing work you care about in your area - homeless advocacy and outreach, immigrant support, queer rights - and volunteer with them. It's a tremendous counter to helpless despair.

🌳🏀🚰 In past cycles of Participatory Budgeting, Cambridge residents helped fund park trees, youth center upgrades, & water fountains! Now, it’s time for more great ideas. What will you suggest? Submit your ideas by Oct 12: pb.cambridgema.gov #PB12 #ParticipatoryBudgeting

Social housing just makes sense. It creates truly mixed-income communities. It's self sustaining. And it can add hundreds of new homes across the city, including many that are deeply affordable. Projects that are publicly owned & democratically controlled. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025... #mapoli

you can sign up for a shift here! actionnetwork.org/events/sunda...

lovely day to be out talking to neighbors about @votealzubi.com’s campaign! never been a better time to go for a nice walk and knock on a few doors to help build a more affordable, dignified Cambridge

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Launch Party last Tuesday! It was so empowering to be in community with 150+ people that believe in our vision of a Cambridge that is dignified & affordable for all. It’s going to take all of this to win a seat in City Hall so join us! votealzubi.com

I love when neighbors drop useful goodies on your doorstep.

It would be cool if the journalists doing these kinds of stories would take 5 minutes and look up one of the many studies on the benefits of bike infrastructure and then include that in the story. But no, we get vibes and a one-sided story.

Boston and Cambridge have toothless civilian review boards. Somerville's public safety task force recommended the city adopt a review board -- can we ensure that ours actually works? www.wbur.org/news/2025/08...

Still coasting on the vibes from last night's @votealzubi.com launch party. This is the Cambridge I love!! 🥹
