Proud to stand with Harvard custodians & security workers from @32bjseiu.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract.
Cambridge residents rallied alongside the Harvard community when it was attacked by Trump.
If Harvard wants Cambridge to have its back, it needs to have the back of its workers

I was just in the protected bike lane on Hampshire St yesterday! Thank you!
In 2018, I lost part of two teeth in a bike crash in Cambridge.
Two years after my crash—in my 1st term on the City Council—I introduced the 2020 Cycling Safety Ordinance.
It’s added miles of protected bike lanes—including on Hampshire St, Mass Ave, and Brattle St.
