Tonight at doors, I've discussed some fair questions about Davis Square. To be clear, my administration, our SPD, and I absolutely prioritize safety for all. And it's okay to call 911 for anything dangerous, and/or 311 for discarded hazards. Our public spaces are for everyone!

We've met some great dogs out canvassing! They aren't interested in the work I've done on affordability, but they sure are happy for some mutual love! My dog Samsson died a little over a year ago. I miss you Sammie. Happy International Dog Day, buddy!
