pinned post!
We ran on making Cambridge an affordable and dignified city to live in, and making sure the most vulnerable people are heard. Everyday issues for working people were the driving force behind our campaign, and we will carry their voices into City Hall.

Cambridge/Somerville pals: the Union Square community pantry was bare this morning. I brought over a couple bags of groceries, but neighbors could use your help. If you are near Union Square, please consider giving something: a box of cereal, a bag of oranges, a can of soup. (behind the CrossFit)

I am interested in hearing from people, especially constituents, about your experiences on X, and whether you would support a move to officially take the City of Cambridge off of that platform. My DMs are open!

LUCE expanded their work into food delivery, when they recognized that immigrants were afraid to leave their homes to buy food. In this time of acute insecurity, their mission is more important than ever. Please support them if you can!

The free lunch/breakfast is such an important lifeline right now. I was talking to my SIL, who teaches in a school district that doesn't have the resources to do extra food support like Cambridge is doing. The free lunch/breakfast is as essential to her school right now as having lights.

The disastrous lapse in SNAP benefits has put a spotlight on food insecurity โ an issue that was already getting worse here, especially with the loss of the Daily Table. But we can fill that void, while giving the grocery chains some healthy competition. It's time for a city-owned grocery store.
