🧵 Responsible development in Worcester.
Vote for candidates who aren't timid about putting community needs 1st. 1/4
ALT In July, I signed Worcester’s Responsible Development pledge, part of the Carpenters Union’s campaign to hold big developers that receive million-dollar subsidies from taxpayers accountable to those of us picking up the bill.
ALT Worcester has given Winn $1.75 million from the affordable housing trust fund, and they are receiving other tax subsidies for this project. Unlike other developers receiving local tax subsidies that are being monitored weekly for worker safety, local hiring, workforce diversity, and tax fraud, Winn is not being held to these basic community standards.

Amsterdam’s plan to remove 11,200 parking spaces from its streets by the end of 2025 is even more inspiring when we realize the kind of people-places that are possible where cars used to be. Example — #Amsterdam’s Elandsgracht between 2014 & 2019, via @schlijper’s great pics.

7 years ago, our LGBTQ community felt the incalculable shock and grief after 49 lives were taken from us at Pulse Nightclub.
Today, we remember their legacy and #HonorThemWithAction by always choosing to stand up against hatred and violence. #PulseDayOfRemembrance
