I’m excited to announce today that I am running for State Representative for the 25th Middlesex District. We need to have a state government that works for the many, not just the well connected few. 🧵

We'll keep connecting with our neighbors & build the relationships of trust that are essential to solidarity. People in Mass are working together to meet this moment. It's past time for our legislature to bring the same energy that our communities are already putting into action.

I’m running for State Rep in Cambridge to demand that Massachusetts be leading: leading on immigrant rights, leading on standing up to the Trump administration, and leading on making Massachusetts beautiful with affordable housing, universal childcare, and strong union jobs.

The Safe Communities Act would help stop that. We’ve been pushing for these immigrant justice policies for over a decade, but every session, State House leadership makes empty promises and then blocks important legislation with secret votes and parliamentary tricks.

Right now, Massachusetts is voluntarily cooperating with the Trump administration, sharing data about our communities and undocumented people with ICE, and deputizing state and local law enforcement at our taxpayer expense.

Our campaign is not afraid to name the people who have been blocking the policies we need: State House leadership. There are consequences to dysfunction and procrastination, and our community is done with complacency in the face of federal fascism.

I was grateful to join @boston_dsa and other community organizations to come together, oppose ICE, and support immigrant communities.

Thousands of people attended a rally organized by Boston DSA and our coalition partners last Saturday. We heard from union leaders, local organizers, both of our elected Boston DSA co-chairs, and our newly endorsed candidate in Cambridge Evan MacKay.

Our campaign is powered by every one of you. Everybody’s engagement looks different & there's a space for you in our movement. It is a joy to build together & knit bonds of trust across our community, grounded in the necessity of a MA house that will match our demands for action.

Over the next 8 months, we'll continue to come together, meet one another, listen, and build support in our community for representation that will fight alongside us, and for an accountable and effective state legislature that can deliver for all of us and lead with our values.

Last week, I was grateful to be joined in Porter Square with neighbors, union members, and local electeds to announce the launch of our campaign. Thank you to Cambridge Vice Mayor @realBurhanAzeem, Councillors @votejivan and Ayah Al-Zubi, and @ibew2222 for being there in support.

While mainstream politicians are making excuses for not meeting the moment and prioritizing the feelings of other politicians and the donor class, our communities are coming together in grief and doing the real work to advance our values into action.

we are insisting that every level of government and every component of society step up in doing as much as possible to protect our immigrant neighbors and stand up to the Trump administration.

I'm proud to stand with thousands of my neighbors outraged at the murder of Renee Good at the hands of ICE. We are heartbroken by every person killed by state violence,

Our movement exists to bridge that gap by organizing in a way that isn't happening right now to break through roadblocks that keep Massachusetts from doing what residents want and need. Creating the community and state that truly meets this moment is going to take all of us. 7/7

The outcome of the last campaign cycle proved that there's a real hunger for a different kind of politics. There's a gap between what our residents value, and what our state legislature actually delivers. 6/7

They are stuck in a rut of dysfunction and secrecy, choosing solidarity with establishment politicians and the politics of the past rather than solidarity with communities struggling the most. 5/7

While our neighbors are working to put our values into action, powerful politicians are looking out for themselves. 4/7

but Massachusetts house leadership is languishing in a broken status quo rather than meeting the moment and helping our state reach our potential, and live up to our reputation. 3/7
