Proud to stand with Harvard custodians & security workers from @32bjseiu.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract.

Cambridge residents rallied alongside the Harvard community when it was attacked by Trump.

If Harvard wants Cambridge to have its back, it needs to have the back of its workers

The election results are a win for housing & childcare affordability, safer streets, and being a welcoming city.

And I’m committed to making sure they are a win for working people in Cambridge.

I’m so grateful to everyone who made our 1st successful re-election campaign possible.

Thank you!

If you care about housing & childcare affordability, safer streets, sustainability, and protecting immigrant residents, I’m asking for your #1 vote.

Let’s bring this home and keep fighting for a Cambridge that works for all of us

I’ve never been successfully re-elected beforeβ€”I lost my last re-election by a handful of votes. I’m hoping to change that today

Began the day by running down the last of my Ward 4 lit and then walked up to Cambridge to canvass for @votejivan.bsky.social and do some rent control signature collection

#CambMA It's personal for Jivan!

For me? I stopped urban biking 50+ years ago but I really, really don't want another bike death in my fair city!

Creating safer streets is personal for me.

If the Cycling Safety Ordinance is allowed to finish by 2027, we’ll have a citywide protected bike network.

I’m running for re-election to make sure it does, so we can keep making streets safer for residents

Despite losing two teeth in a bike crash in Cambridge, I was lucky.

More than a dozen cyclists & pedestrians have been killed in Cambridge in the past decade

In 2018, I lost part of two teeth in a bike crash in Cambridge.

Two years after my crashβ€”in my 1st term on the City Councilβ€”I introduced the 2020 Cycling Safety Ordinance.

It’s added miles of protected bike lanesβ€”including on Hampshire St, Mass Ave, and Brattle St.

Beautiful morning to join the Peabody School Bike Bus for their Halloween ride to school with the School of Honk band!

I came as a City Councillor 4 days before an election who didn’t have time to plan a real costume.

Lots of volunteers there from @cambbikesafety.bsky.social

A true supporter of affordable housing in Cambridge - Cambridge Day A Cambridge voter's argument for a particular candidate.

Margaret Brady has been a leader in the work to create a Cambridge Community Land Trust.

It's been great working with her over the past couple years.

And she wrote an amazing letter in support of my campaign in the @CambridgeDay
