Pleased to join my former professor Laurie Goldman in this @TuftsDaily piece about rampant housing unaffordability. Always happy to talk about our work w/zoning and hype up the incredible redevelopment work being done by the Medford Housing Authority.

It's appalling that @MassGovernor would choose to advance impossible/unrealistic conditions for gaining shelter, rather than mobilize all available resources to keep vulnerable families safe and off the streets. The new state EA and overflow family shelter rules must be reversed.

Her genuine love for our city shines through in her years of tireless service, advocacy, and community organizing. Now more than ever, we need Nichole's values and convictions supporting Medford in the State House. (2/2)

A joy to join so many friends and allies yesterday (even in the rain!) to rally for dignified wages and rent control. Labor, housing justice, climate justice, and neighborhoods coming together for raising the minimum wage and keeping people in their homes! #mapoli #RentControlMA

Will continue to support PILOT legislation every session for as long as it takes - wealthy nonprofit institutions should pay their fair share!
Thank you, Amherst, Cambridge, and Medford councilors for being the latest communities to pass resolutions supporting H2963/S1836. Local option revenue from wealthy non-profits makes sense.

If Dems want to win in November, they must correct course now. Stop pandering to Trump voters, stop shamelessly coopting and weaponizing Jews' intergenerational trauma, halt all arms shipments to Israel, and keep cancelling student debt.

As an alum, I'm proud of the students that are taking part in this cascade of historic demonstrations. A forcible clearing of the quad would be imprudent, put students and allies in danger, and put @TuftsUniversity on the wrong side of history.

Either we care about democracy and the Constitution, or we don't. The hypocrisy is glaring.
