Boston, serving as your Mayor for seven years has been a dream come true for this child of immigrants born and raised in our city. Thank you for everything.

This evening, I officially resigned as Mayor of the City of Boston. I am deeply proud of the work we have done together to advance our city and all its people. Follow @USDOL for updates as we build back the American workforce and our economic recovery.

Congratulations on making history, @Kim_Janey. I know you are going to continue serving our city and supporting an equitable recovery from #COVID19. I am always here for you, my friend.

At 6 p.m., I will host a press conference following the U.S. Senate vote on the nomination of the next U.S. Secretary of Labor. Tune in live on

Tomorrow, the @CityofBoston will move into a modified Phase 4, Step 1 of the state’s reopening plan. We are taking this step because we know we must support the economic wellbeing of our residents and businesses. https://t.co/WvlOZUZtqV

Boston, please continue to stay vigilant as more people get vaccinated for #COVID19. This includes following public health guidance such as washing your hands and wearing a face covering. Thank you for staying strong and doing your part to #StoptheSpread.

Even as more people get vaccinated for #COVID19, it is important that we continue getting tested. Our case numbers influence our reopening guidance, and we must have the most up-to-date information if we want to make progress in our recovery. Please #GetTheTestBoston.

.@NickCollinsMA’s annual St. Patrick’s Day breakfast is an event that I look forward to every year. Tune in to @NESN tomorrow from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. to join in on the fun.

On Monday, the @CityOfBoston will move into a modified Step 4, Phase 1 of the state’s reopening plan. We will continue to make decisions based on the latest public health data, while ensuring our economic well being. https://t.co/WvlOZVh4Pv

Happy first day of Spring, Boston! As the weather gets warmer, I need everyone to continue to be vigilant to fight the spread of #COVID19. 🚫Avoid gatherings, 😷Wear a mask, 🧼Wash your hands and disinfect frequently-touched surfaces, ✅And #GetTheTestBoston.

I’d like to thank @VABostonHC for continuing to support and protect our veterans.

Today, veterans of all ages enrolled in VA Healthcare can visit Urban Edge, 1542 Columbus Ave, Roxbury to receive a #COVID19 vaccine. The clinic is open 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Vaccines are available on a first come first serve basis.

The construction of Engine 42, Rescue 2, District 9 Firehouse is a $23.5 million investment in the @CityOfBoston's community and emergency services. Yesterday, I visited the construction site to learn about the progress of the first new firehouse built in 30 years. @BostonFire

Our renovations of @CityHallBoston plaza will create open space that prioritizes accessibility and sustainability. Thank you to everyone involved in designing and creating this civic space. https://t.co/1mnZZtLUMh

Even as more people are able to get vaccinated, we must continue to stay vigilant to ensure the health of our residents. Stay strong, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Happy Friday, Boston. As we head into the weekend, it is essential that we continue to follow #COVID19 public health guidance.

And we’re setting a good model for other employers. By helping working parents, we can help our economy come back stronger than before.

This policy improves the employee experience, modernizes our workplace, and supports our ability to attract and retain talent. This is good for the quality of City government.

This doubles the current benefit for employees. ✔️It will now provide 100% of income for 4 weeks; ✔️75% for weeks 5 through 8; ✔️and 50% for weeks 9 through 12. ✔️And if both parents are eligible City workers, each of them are entitled to the full benefit.

Today I can announce we are expanding the @CityofBoston’s Paid Parental Leave policy. Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of Paid Parental Leave during the first year after the birth or adoption of a child.
