When my parents left it all back in Dominican Republic to begin a new life here, they didn’t know what would happen. Now it’s my turn to ensure their voices, and those of so many, are elevated and heard across our city and state. Proud to be Dominican.

.
@Walgreens
' closures of pharmacies in Roxbury, Mattapan & Hyde Park are not arbitrary or innocent.
They are disruptive, life-threatening acts of racial & economic discrimination.
As a multi-billion-dollar corporation, they must stop divesting from Black & brown communities.
