Happy Intersex Awareness Day! This day has deep roots in Boston—on this date in 1996, North America's first public intersex demonstration happened right here.
Today, we honor the courage of those advocates.

I've filed a hearing order for today's council meeting to legalize Accessory Dwelling Units across Boston!
To tackle our housing crisis, we need diverse solutions. Despite their clear benefits, our current zoning makes building ADUs incredibly difficult. Legalizing ADUs is a crucial step forward.

On Saturday, September 13, a same-sex couple in Mattapan was violently and brutally attacked in a hate crime targeting their identities and humanity. This heartbreaking and intentional act of violence was fueled by anti-LGBTQIA+ animus.

Boston has 15,000 triple deckers & 99% of all residential parcels are currently considered “existing nonconforming.”

Throughout our communities, we are witnessing a heartbreaking epidemic of violence affecting the youngest members of our society. This week we saw a tragic school shooting in Denver, the stabbing of a student inside a Boston high school, and the murder of Charlie Kirk.
