Democracy is not divisiveness. If the people tell their leads to divest from Israel's illegal occupation, apartheid, and genocide, then their leaders should do it. I have stood up time and time again for the rights of our residents and, as mayor, I will work to safeguard and expand those rights.

With early voting starting tomorrow, it's great to have the support of @somervilleyimby.org in my race to become the next Mayor of Somerville! We can elect a pro-housing movement focused on ensuring Somerville has economic diversity and housing stability. Join us: linktr.ee/WillieforSomerville

The taking of Rumeysa Ozturk by ICE is beyond outrageous & unconstitutional; it's state-sponsored terror meant to intimidate universities, immigrant workers (including unionized workers), & anyone who speaks out against Israel's genocidal acts on Palestinians. #freeRumeysa #FreePalestine #abolishICE

Several years ago, I was displaced from Somerville when my rent was raised hundreds of dollars. Today, I'm announcing my run for Mayor of Somerville in order to ensure that we can have a city that is more affordable, more accountable, and more accessible for all.

When we act regionally, we can create statewide change! Hopefully, with the support of the governor, we can end forced broker fees not only for renters in Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston, but all those across the Commonwealth.

I'm not sure this is supposed to be happening @cityofsomerville.bsky.social, but it's happening at both the intersections of Medford and Partridge and Medford and Trull. Please put 311 on it.
