As new type of Lt Governor, I will use my experience as a social worker, doctor of public health, and State Representative to get to work on Day 1 addressing the root causes of the complex issues we are facing.

Half measures won’t stop climate change. We need courageous leaders who understand the crisis and who will fight for real solutions. I’m proud to support @TamiGouveiaMA.
Public transportation is a public good that benefits everyone – from our students and employees to our business owners and families. We cannot maintain a strong economy and ensure a connected Commonwealth without a reliable, affordable, and accessible transit system.

One critical step we must take to fight the climate crisis is to make our buildings more sustainable. That’s why I passed the net zero stretch energy code & why it was great to join @MassClimate to see how @POAHCommunities is retrofitting buildings to make them sustainable! – at Massachusetts, USA

Two climate bills in two years is just not enough given the crisis we are in and the mess we will undoubtedly leave future generations if we don’t act boldly, courageously, and quickly.

We must take urgent action to solve the Climate Crisis and ensure environmental justice. As Lt. Governor I'll bring everyone together to ensure that we act boldly and equitably to meet this moment. @Ward4Dems @bostonward5dems

Every worker deserves a workplace that protects their well-being and dignity. That means the right to collectively bargain, a workplace free from discrimination, livable wages, and fair benefits. Our legislative staff are no exception to this.

We had a full house today for my first-ever Insights Roundtable, where senior leaders from around the U.S. and U.K. shared their hopes, challenges, and plans for moving to a hybrid world. While some are in the formative stages, others have plans firmly in…lnkd.in/ep33W5kh

Today, we’re changing our endorsement criteria to reflect our commitment to the freedom to vote. Going forward, we won’t endorse any U.S. senator who doesn’t support changing the Senate rules to pass voting rights legislation. Our democracy is on the line. #DeliverForVotingRights

#DisasterPreparednessIsReal It makes a difference. It saves lives. Plan, prepare. We can predict w/surprising accuracy where, when & what types of disasters are going to happen. If we use that knowledge & build even more models with predictive science, we can save countless lives
"We expected mass casualties, we expected absolute devastation. To not have that is a result of people knowing what to do, being well informed having well-coordinated people on the ground who have supported evacuations." #tongatsunami Pacific @ifrc Head @KatiegIFRC on @AJStream

Changing our behaviors has the greatest impact when supported/ incentivized by government. Getting ready for @MassDOER draft #netzero stretch code #NetZeroNow #NetZeroForAll – at Austin, TX
Behavioural changes by people around the world have a crucial role to play in global efforts to reach #NetZero emissions by 2050. Our new article explores the impact of these changes and how governments can enable & foster them through policy support → iea.li/3439uVP

Enbridge has taken advantage of our communities and has contributed to decades of devastating environmental injustice. They have created negative public health impacts in areas that have already been hit hard by our climate crisis. Enbridge must be held accountable.
