(Uncle) Jeep Jones Park reopened and rededicated today. Thx to @GBinterfaith Somali mother members, @Kim_Janey for getting the ball rolling and Mayor Wu @wutrain for finishing the work. Great collaboration and community work.

Last Thursday evening we held our first UCB brotherhood event. We had a great time and plan to host more in the coming months. We also welcome our newest Network Coordinator, Garrick!

Thousands of people registered to vote, enrolled in courses, networked with neighbors… bc of the F2F and virtual spaces where @UCBoston members interact. Orgs that facilitate (& celebrate) civic engagement can improve individual outcomes & build social capital in neighborhoods.

Housing affects EVERYONE. First time homebuyers, public housing tenants, returning citizens–we ALL deserve a place to call home. That’s why our campaign is so ambitious. Tonight’s guests remind us that we are part of something greater and worth fighting for! #PowerUp #GBIO

Honored to have Senator @LydiaMEdwards in the building with us tonight! Thank you for your support as we all push to make Massachusetts a better place to live for everyone. #PowerUp #mapoli #HousingJustice

Rabbi Toba Spitzer: Tonight is all about deciding to go all-in and reminding ourselves why we NEED to demand a real political shift with regard to the housing crisis. Our goals are BIG, so our energy has to be bigger. #PowerUp
