From YouTube: COVID-19 Media Availability 6/29/20
Description
Mayor Walsh hosts a media availability to discuss updates relating to COVID-19.
A
Thank
you,
everyone.
We
moved
the
press
conference
inside
today
for
the
reporters
sake
supposedly
done
the
storms
coming
through
and
we
didn't
want
you.
We
are
positioned
out
there
if
it's
windy,
you'll
get
hit
with
the
rain,
so
I
didn't
wanted
to
make
sure
we
protect
you.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
today
today,
as
we
get
set
up
here,
we're
going
to
provide
updates
on
covin
19,
as
well
as
our
work
to
fighting
systemic
racism
here
in
Boston,
I'm
gonna
start
with
our
latest
numbers.
I
have
in
Massachusetts.
A
As
of
yesterday,
the
state
reached
a
total
of
108
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty-seven
cases,
a
one-day
increase
of
224
cases.
The
state
has
now
confirmed
8,000
60
people
have
died
from
kovin
19,
that's
up
from
18
the
day
before
Schumi
19
the
day
before
in
Boston.
These
are
numbers,
as
of
today,
just
updated
them.
A
moment
ago
we
have
one
at
one
a
case
of
additional
increase
of
one
case
having
our
our
numbers.
Three
13400
41
cases,
51
additional
people
have
recovered.
A
That
brings
our
total
of
9,000
384
and
total
number
of
people
have
passed
away
to
the
Cova.
19
was
four
as
of
yesterday
in
total
today,
709
as
I've
said
from
the
very
beginning
of
the
coronavirus.
Our
thoughts
and
prayers
go
out
to
those
who
are
still
struggling
from
this
illness,
and
we
still
have
people
struggling
from
this
illness
and
to
the
families
who
lost
loved
ones.
A
Our
prayers
are
with
you
normally
heading
into
the
fourth
of
July
weekend,
I'd
be
talking
about
grill
safety
and
violence
prevention
and
those
are
certainly
important
issues,
but
I'm
sharing
those
messages
again
this
weekend
we're
going
to
have
a
more
deeper
conversation
in
a
couple
of
days,
but
this
year
there'll
be
a
safety,
the
safety
issues,
kovat
19.
This
is
traditionally
a
weekend
for
gathering
and
large
groups
for
historic
ceremonies
and
social
events.
This
is
not
something
that
we
can
do
this
year
here
in
Boston
or
in
Massachusetts,
our
city
of
Boston
Independence.
A
Day
celebrations
are
going
to
be
completely
online
and
for
every
everyone's
fourth-of-july
plans
need
to
be
limited
as
well.
If
you're
gonna
have
a
cookout,
we're
asking
you
to
keep
your
gathering
small
and
keep
them
to
your
family
units,
we're
asking
people
continue
to
wear,
face
coverings
and
keep
your
social
distancing
of
6
feet
away
from
each
other.
I'm
also
asking
people
to
continually
wash
your
hands
with
soap
and
warm
water
as
you
move
forward
or
use
hand
sanitizer.
If
you
go
somewhere
and
the
crowd
is
larger
than
expected.
A
My
suggestion
is
that
you
turn
around
make
new
plans.
Tell
folks
that
you're
concerned
about
your
senior
relatives
and
your
neighbors
and
your
friends
I
know
that
it's
not
easy
scaling
back
on,
certainly
summer
traditions,
especially
after
all
that
we've
been
through
with
this
year.
But
again
we
can
look
at
what's
happening
in
other
parts
of
the
country
all
weekend.
A
Long
I
was
monitoring
Florida
in
Texas
and
Arizona
in
California,
and
all
of
those
numbers
just
continue
to
rise
and
incredibly
high
numbers
and
in
many
of
those
places
the
people
that
being
most
impacted
our
people
between
the
ages
of
30
and
40
years
old.
So
we
need
to
continue
to
make
sure
we
take
precautions.
A
People
we've
seen
scenes
people
socializing
in
large
groups,
with
our
precautions,
we've
seen
major
surges
in
hospital
capacity,
hospitals
being
pushed
to
the
limit
around
the
country
and
the
economies
are
getting
shut
down
again
in
those
states
that
did
shut
down
for
a
short
period
of
time.
We
certainly
here
in
Boston
in
Massachusetts.
We
don't
have
to
take
that
path.
A
We
have
collectively
done
an
incredible
job
here
in
my
opinion,
and
we
must
continue
to
be
diligent
and
we
must
enjoy
new
opportunities
to
restore
our
economy,
I'm
urging
every
single
resident
and
business
owner
to
take
kovat
19
as
seriously
as
you
ever
have.
We
need
everyone
to
be
part
of
this
effort
in
the
city
of
Boston.
A
You
were
not
on
your
own
in
this
and
that's
something
that
I
think
it's
been
from
the
very
beginning.
We
are
committed
to
providing
you
with
the
information
and
the
resources
that
each
and
every
person
needs
I'm
gonna
ask
chief
of
help
Human
Services
Marty
Martinez
to
come
up
here
right
now
for
a
moment.
Talk
about
some
of
the
work
that
that
his
department,
he
is
doing,
chief
Martinez.
B
In
these
times,
from
our
new
case
numbers
to
our
positive
testing
rate
to
hospitalizations,
we're
looking
at
trends
and
any
signs
of
new
kovat
activity,
we
continue
to
see
a
solid
14
day
decrease
in
cases
and
a
seven
day
decrease
as
well.
While
the
decrease
is
flattening.
We
are
seeing
very
low
case
numbers
continue,
which
is
a
good
sign.
In
the
last
18
days.
We've
only
had
one
day
where
we've
had
over
30
cases.
Our
work
is
paying
off
to
prevent
new
infections.
B
We've
also
had
one
of
our
lowest
positive
case
rates
last
week
at
1.9
percent
positive
for
the
entire
week,
with
the
cumulative
rate
of
17.7
percent
for
kovat
testing
in
general.
Well,
we
have
increased
the
numbers
of
people
getting
tested
over
the
past
few
weeks.
We
continue
to
see
a
decline
in
the
positive
test
rate
again,
a
good
sign
of
progress
and
our
hospital
ICU
capacity
in
Boston
was
at
70%
of
capacity
yesterday,
which
is
down
from
a
high
of
a
hundred
and
thirty
six
percent
of
capacity
at
its
peak
in
April.
B
B
We
continue
to
be
focused
on
creating
greater
access
to
testing
ensuring
we
have
culturally
competent
messaging
to
reach
our
diverse
communities
and
to
ensure
that
we're
working
to
support
those
who
are
most
impacted.
This
is
why
we've
increased
testing
and
key
zip
codes
and
ensure
that
we're
investing
in
resources
to
connect
people
to
care
and
support
our
community
health
centers
as
well.
We
must
not
lose
focus
on
the
inequities
that
exist
and
that
have
been
central
to
our
response
from
the
very
beginning.
B
So,
as
many
other
states
and
cities
encountered
increased
cases
and
rates,
we
have
to
stay
diligent
and
focus
on
what
we
need
to
do
to
collectively
fight
kovat
I
remain
concerned
about
its
impact
and
urge
us
to
stay
cautious
and
vigilant,
as
we
continue
to
reopen
the
city,
Health
and
Human
Services,
and
the
Health
Commission
will
not
lose
sight
of
these
in
those
most
impacted,
as
we
continue
down
this
path
of
recovery.
Thank
you.
Mary.
A
Thank
You,
Marty
and
I
just
can't
stress
the
importance
of
as
we
as
we
reopen
and
the
conversations
that
we're
having
in
the
city
of
Boston,
whether
its
restaurants
or
Obama
shops
or
salons
or
schools.
The
importance
of
staying
very
attentive
to
making
sure
that
we
take
care
of
our
individual
health
by
wearing
face
masks
in
keeping
social
distancing.
A
This
has
been
a
very
long
journey
if
you
will
for
us
here
in
Boston
and
Massachusetts
in
this
country,
with
Cogan
19,
and
in
order
for
us
to
continue
moving
forward,
we
can't
lose
sight
of
all
the
incredible
work.
That's
been
done
and
we
can't
also
lose
sight
of
all
the
people
that
have
lost
their
life
because
of
Kovan
19
and
so
I
just
want
to
continue
we're
going
to
continue
to
to
move
forward
here.
A
I'm
also
gonna
provide
some
an
update
on
our
equity
work,
as
it
relates
to
kovat
19
in
all
the
ways
that
we're
working
together
to
end
racism
and
making
positive
change
I
want
to
start
with
the
issues
of
housing
security,
because
it's
a
pressing
issue
right
now
and
it's
certainly
part
of
our
equity
conversation
that
we're
having
in
the
city.
There
was
a
report
released
this
weekend
about
the
threat
of
widespread
evictions.
Many
of
the
news
outlets
picked
up
on
it.
After
the
federal
unemployment
relief
runs
out
in
our
state
eviction
moratorium
ends.
A
We
are
going
to
be
happy
to
provide
the
data
for
that
report
because
we've
been
tricked
by
tracking
these
needs
and
working
to
meet
them
for
quite
some
time
here
by
creating
our
office
of
housing,
stability
and
by
investing
in
affordable
housing
and
by
advocating
for
greater
tenant
protections.
The
budget
approved
last
week
expands
that
work
with
a
1616
million
dollars
of
new
investment,
and
we
filed
several
bills
that
are
currently
at
the
legislative
in
the
legislature.
A
Right
now
to
protect
tenants
and
increase
housing
stability,
we
have
a
bill
that
guaranteed
tenants
of
buildings
the
right
to
buy
that
building
with
a
non-profit
partner.
If
that
building
goes
on
the
market,
we
have
a
bill
that
protects
elderly,
tenants
from
evictions
and
displacement,
and
we
have
a
bill
that
guarantees
tenants
facing
eviction
the
right
to
legal
representation.
Just
like
criminal
defendants
get
that
continues
to
be
a
priority
and
I
support.
A
bill
filed
by
state
senator
Sal,
D
Dominico,
to
pilot
the
right
to
counsel
for
tenants
impacted
by
Cova
19.
A
That's
a
situation
where
a
lot
of
times
somebody's
being
evicted,
they
go
to
court,
they
don't
have
a
lawyer
and
then
have
the
right
for
representation
if
they
can
afford.
If
they
can
hire
a
lawyer
and
bring
bring
alloy
with
them,
they
could
but
most
of
these
people
they
can't
they're
being
evicted
for
failure
to
pay
rents
and
they
don't
have
the
ability
to
hire
a
lawyer.
In
that
particular
case,
the
Kobe
crisis
changed
the
legislative
landscape,
but
the
housing
stability
has
never
been
more
important.
A
We
are
facing
profound
economic
uncertainty
right
now
and
thousands
of
family
seniors
and
workers
are
facing
profound
housing,
inequities
and
insecurities.
We
need
to
do
everything
we
can
to
support
our
residents
through
this
crisis
and
beyond.
We've
made
8
million
dollars
available
for
rental
relief
to
those
not
eligible
for
unemployment
insurance.
As
of
last
week,
we've
distributed
over
1
million
dollars
of
those
funds
to
cover
rents
for
hundreds
of
households
all
across
the
city
of
Boston,
and
we
continue
to
distribute
these
funds
as
needed.
But
relief
is
only
one
part
of
our
response.
A
So
I'm
asking
the
state
to
extend
the
eviction
moratorium
for
as
long
as
it
takes
to
protect
housing
stability
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
also
throughout
the
entire
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
and
whatever
supports,
are
necessary
to
protect
landlords
from
foreclosures
and
other
harms.
Rep
Kevin
Honan
from
Brighton
and
brought
Mike
Conley
bill,
extended
the
moratorium
for
12
months
and
adds
relief
for
landlords.
A
Housing
insecurity
is
clearly
an
issue
of
racial
equality,
as
well
as
general
economic
disruption.
Athina
shows
that
communities
of
color
are
more
vulnerable
to
evictions,
umberto
some
burdensome
rents
and,
if
that
is
due
to
large
part,
to
history
of
being
excluded
from
housing
opportunities
that
took
place
all
across
our
country,
not
just
here
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
It's
another
reason
why
we
have
to
take
a
deeper
look
inside
of
our
systems
to
root
out
the
race's
legacy,
rebuild
those
systems
and
to
create
equitable
opportunities
as
we
move
forward
here.
A
Driving
this
work
is
the
mission
of
the
equity
cabinet
that
I
announced
last
week.
The
cabinet
will
bring
together
the
departments
that
address
overlapping
inequities
of
race,
ethnicity,
immigration,
language
and
gender.
It
will
apply
a
liquidy
lens
to
make
sure
that
everything
city
government
does
is
dismantling
systemic
racism
and
creating
fair
opportunity
for
all
Bostonians.
A
So
the
chief
of
equity
is
going
to
be
somebody
what's
it
with
a
significant
influence
on
how
to
operate
as
the
city
is
moving
forward.
This
is
an
extremely
important
appointment,
an
appointment,
an
important
moment
right
now
for
the
city
of
Boston.
We
need
somebody
who
can
hit
the
ground
running.
Someone
who
understands
not
just
knows
the
community
but
understands
the
community,
someone
who
understands
city
government
and
how
city
hall
works
and
I'm
confident
that
we
have
found
the
right
person
to
lead
this
work.
A
A
A
Carolyn
spent
four
years
as
a
director
of
Economic
Policy,
Research
and
small
business
development
in
this
administration
for
the
city
of
Boston.
In
that
role,
working
with
Chief
John
Morrow's,
she
led
Boston's,
first,
ever
citywide
small
business
plan
and
Boston's.
First
economic
equality
and
inclusion
agenda
among
her
many
accomplishments
were
strengthening
our
residency
job
policy.
Will
we
change
the
numbers
to
reflect
the
community
of
Boston,
which
helps
us
leverage
city's
growth
to
create
more
opportunities
for
women
and
people
of
color
in
the
construction
industry?
A
Carolyn
is
a
proud
product
of
our
Boston
black
community
right
here
she
grew
up
in
Dorchester,
it's
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
for
most
of
her
k-12
education.
She
went
on
to
Yale
University,
where
she
earned
three
degrees,
including
a
PhD
in
American
Studies
after
college.
She
founded
a
program
called
my
town,
an
organization
that
hires
high
school
students
to
research
local
histories
and
create
walking
chores.
A
It's
created
over
300
youth
jobs
and
and
was
named
one
of
the
ten
best
youth
humanity
programs
in
America
by
the
National
Endowment
for
the
Humanities
she's,
a
leading
scholar
of
equity
and
urban
planning.
Here
in
Boston,
she's
published
a
groundbreaking
book
a
couple
years
ago.
People
before
highways,
it
has
changed
our
understanding
of
urban
renewal,
putting
the
community
at
the
center
of
the
story
and
for
the
last
two
years,
she's
been
a
lecturer
in
public
policy
and
urban
planning
at
MIT.
A
She
understands
the
root
of
racial
inequality
and
the
tools
we
need
to
break
it
down.
She's
a
passion,
she's,
passionate
about
the
strength
that
exists
within
our
communities
to
lead
the
work
when
systemic
barriers
are
removed.
Caroline
is
an
example
of
the
excellence
we
have
in
Boston's
neighborhoods,
the
talent.
We
must
create
opportunities
for
if
we
are
to
truly
thrive
as
a
city
when
she
has
done,
she
has
done
that
with
excellence
to
lift
up
community
as
many
others,
and
that
many
other
neighborhoods
and
working
like
that.
What
she's
done
sorry
about
that?
A
This
is
what
she's
going
to
continue
to
do
in
this
role
and
by
doing
that,
she's
going
to
help
us
lead
the
nation
before
I
bring
up
dr.
Carolyn
Crockett
is
our
first
chief
equity
office
or
she
asked
me
a
question
the
other
day
and
she
said
I'm
honored
to
be
asked
about
this
role.
But
she
said:
what's
your
commitment
in
this
work
and
what
I
said
to
her
was
my
doors
open,
literally
open
in
any
time
that
she
has
a
question
or
an
obstacle
or
a
barrier
that
needs
to
be
torn
down?
C
Thank
You
mayor,
we
recognize
the
land
that
we
stand
on
as
the
traditional
indigenous
territory
of
the
massachusett
nation
who
continued
through
their
lineal
descendants,
the
massachusett
tribe
at
Ponca,
Park
and
acknowledging
the
land.
We
recognize
the
tribe
as
our
host
and
we
agreed
to
be
good
guests
for
far
too
long.
Boston
City
Hall
has
been
an
agent
of
racism,
exclusion,
an
old
crony
gatekeeping
of
the
city's
prosperity
and
power,
not
recognizing
your
abilities,
not
recognizing
your
contributions,
not
recognizing
your
skills,
not
recognizing
your
leadership,
not
recognizing
your
power,
your
voice.
C
C
If
you
can't
access
the
building,
we
stand
in
to
get
the
services
you
need
and
that
your
taxes
have
already
paid
for
what
good
is
it
to
here
that
you
live
in
a
prosperous
and
thriving
City?
If
you
can't
get
the
information
you
need
in
the
language
you
prefer
or
if
you
can't
enjoy
the
city's
resources,
regardless
of
your
immigration
status,
what
good
is
it
to
hear
that
you
live
in
a
prosperous
and
thriving
City
if
you
are
not
confident
that
you
or
your
children
can
travel
the
city
streets
safely?
C
C
Dorchester
is
in
my
veins
and
in
my
heart,
my
family,
like
many
other
black
families,
left
the
south
and
headed
north
to
Boston
in
search
of
economic
opportunity
and
a
better
life,
but
they
did
not
find
that
here
they
found
a
city
that
was
close
to
their
dreams,
their
abilities
and
their
needs.
So,
like
many
families,
then,
and
now
my
family
strengthened
its
resolve
the
resilience,
fortitude
and
organizing
of
these
families,
and
so
many
mothers
and
grandmothers
and
women
who
hold
our
city
together
every
day
when
foot
when
cooler
hair
heads
do
not
prevail.
C
My
grandmother,
mrs.
Mary
Crockett,
was
one
of
57
plaintiffs
named
alongside
Tallulah
Morgan
in
the
now-famous
Morgan
versus
Hennigan
case
maybe's,
dear
dear
women,
rest
in
power.
As
we
all
know,
this
1972
class
action
suit
paved
the
way
for
Boston's
tumultuous
attempt
at
school
desegregation.
It
was
black
parents
and
their
children
who
fought
for
all
of
us
to
push
toward
rape,
racial
reconciliation
and
healing
at
school
and
at
home,
Boston
City
Hall
and
its
leaders
stood
in
the
way
of
this
historic
and
visionary
work
in
that
moment
of
school,
desegregation
or
forced
busing.
C
Depending
on
how
you
view
this
period,
our
study,
our
city,
stood
in
a
fiery
state
of
crisis.
Today
we
find
ourselves
facing
yet
another
set
of
storms,
the
twin
crises
of
the
corona
virus
pandemic
and
america's
unfinished
racial
reconciliation.
Have
us
all
feeling
raw
vulnerable
and
exposed.
The
question
is:
what
will
we
do?
Do
we
have
the
moral
and
political
will
to
confront
and
heal
our
most
difficult
and
enduring
wounds?
Do
we
have
the
will
and
the
courage
to
dream
new
dreams
for
populations,
long
denied
what
we
actually
deserve?
C
I
believe
we
do,
but
my
own
faith
is
not
enough.
I
need
everyone
standing
here
with
me
and
within
the
hearing
of
my
voice,
to
be
bold
and
move
beyond
what
we
may
individually
think
as
possible
when
Tallulah
Morgan
and
the
Boston
branch
of
the
n-double
a-c-p
dare
to
dream
a
bigger
dream
for
us
all.
We
fail
to
deliver.
We
stand
right
now
in
a
frightening
and
promising
moment
to
pass
our
right
wrong
and
to
pass
to
right.
Our
past
wrongs.
C
Excuse
me,
the
people
of
Boston
are
marching
in
the
streets
right
now
and
demanding
more
because
they
deserve
more
equity.
Is
about
delivering
a
corrective
fix
to
right
wrongs
for
Boston's
black
indigenous
immigrant
Latin,
ex
and
Asian
communities.
Racial
justice
and
economic
inclusion
are
not
new
concerns.
These
legacy
populations
have
built
and
sustained
the
city
of
Boston,
which
it
could
not
sustain
itself.
What's
new
here
is
government's
willingness
to
listen
and
include
itself
in
conversations,
agendas
and
policy
setting
that
matter
to
us
and
hold
the
promise
of
a
more
Liberatore
future.
C
This
is
an
act
of
conclusion.
So
mr.
mayor,
welcome
to
the
conversation,
the
struggle
and
the
table
set
by
the
residents
who
elected
you
is
ready,
is
ready
and
is
now
I
am
honored
to
support
this
mission
by
bringing
my
heart
and
soul
to
the
work
of
leading
the
equity
and
inclusion
cabinet.
I
am
humbled
and
honored
for
the
opportunity
to
directly
support
the
talented
team
of
executive
leaders
behind
me:
Donna
Tavares,
Laurie,
Nelson,
Yousefi,
Valley,
bavander,
Cavallo
and
Tanya
Del
Rio.
C
These
leaders
have
been
working
hard
to
elevate
equity
in
all
aspects
of
the
city's
work,
and
my
job
is
to
support
and
strengthen
what
we
already
know
is
working.
We
have
tremendous
work
to
do
and
I'm
ready
for
it.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
today
to
mark
this
important
day
and
mr.
mayor.
Thank
you
for
everything
that
we
are
about
to
make
possible
together.
Thank
you.
A
Let
me
first
of
all
Karen
welcome.
Thank
you
shoot
me
just
real,
quick
and
play
open
up
for
questions.
I
just
want
to
also
Carolyn
do
this
already,
but
I
want
to
introduce
the
people
behind
me
for
those
either
don't
know
who
they
are
to
my
right.
Your
left,
Tonia
Del
Rio,
is
our
second
ever
head
of
women's
advancement
in
the
city
of
Boston,
working
on
issues
around
equity
and
childcare
and
a
whole
bunch
of
programs
in
our
office
and
I
want
to
thank
Tanya
for
being
here
with
us
today.
A
Next
to
Tonya
is
Yousefi
valet,
who
is
the
director
of
immigrant
advancement,
the
second
director
ever
of
that
office,
who
has
done
amazing
work,
particularly
in
in
the
last
three
years.
This
office
really
has
been
about
not
only
advancing
immigrants
but
protecting
immigrants,
as
well
with
the
threats
from
Washington
DC.
Next
to
you,
Sophie
is
Laurie
Nelson,
who
is
in
charge
and
running
our
office,
the
mayor's
office
of
race
in
inclusion,
and
also
working
with
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
100
resilient
cities,
and
keeping
that
work
on
an
outward
level.
A
Real
real
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
next
to
Laurie,
is
dawning
tomorrow.
Sorry
Donnie,
Donnie
Tavares,
is
the
first
ever
chief
of
diversity
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
Donnie's
role
is
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
think
about
hiring
here
in
the
city
and
also
promotions
here
in
this
city,
his
office
has
been
working
on
not
just
helping
make
sure
people
get
placed,
but
keeping
those
numbers
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that
and
a
Rondo
Corallo
is
the
head
of
our
Human
Rights
Commission.
A
Now
that
office
was
established,
I
believe
under
Mayor
Flynn
had
a
little
bit
of
a
hiatus
after
mayor
Flynn,
and
so
we
we
reintroduce
that
office
and
we're
working
now
in
that
space
and
in
all
of
these
different
departments
along
with
language,
access,
is
going
to
be
working
with
Carolyn
on
a
daily
basis,
but
the
work
they
do
is
really
important
and
they
continue
to
do
this
work
every
day.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
all
for
being
here
today.
With
that
I'll
open
up
for
questions.
A
A
Trying
to
get
a
message
across
by
targeting
people's
homes
in
their
personal
space
is
wrong
and
there
were
several
counselors
that
that
experienced
some
sort
of
vandalism
in
their
home,
and
you
know
that's
not
that's
not
the
way
to
get
messages
across.
Certainly
what
I
just
say
to
everyone.
Listening
today
collectively
as
a
municipal
government,
we
are
listening
more
than
ever
for
a
call
to
action
and
we're
responding
by
taking
action.
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
city
councilor.
A
If
you,
including
myself,
we
might,
we
might
have
different
ways
of
getting
to
a
solution,
but
none
of
us,
none
of
us
differ
on
the
understanding
of
the
issues
in
front
of
us.
So
I
would
ask
people
do
not
do
not
vandalize
people's
homes.
City
councillors
have
families,
some
of
them
have
small
children.
They
have
neighbors
and-
and
that's
just
unacceptable
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
I-
don't
have
to
check
that
and
see
if
they
would
comply,
know
who
took
them
plates
out
or
not.
D
A
Create-
and
the
question
is
about
what
what's
my
message
to
people
that
might
be
concerned
about
evictions
in
the
city
of
Boston,
they
can't
speak
to
the
state.
We
created
the
office
of
housing
stability.
Exactly
for
that
reason,
so
I
would
suggest
anyone
that's
concerned
about
evictions,
call
3-1-1
ask
for
the
office
of
housing
stability
go
on
Boston
gov.
You
can
look
it
up.
We
have
people
available
to
help
you
right
now.
E
E
E
A
The
question
is:
comes
with
one's
having
a
meeting
tonight
in
South
Boston
about
fireworks.
I
think
other
councils
have
had
meetings
as
well
in
in
areas
in
the
city
of
Boston.
You
know
and
then,
as
far
as
a
formal
protest,
I
think
that
fireworks
were
going
off
before
any
type
of
protests
were
happening
in
the
city
and
I'd.
Ask
people
to
respect
the
community,
respect
the
families,
as
they
said
from
this
podium
before
in
the
past,
that
when
you
fight
like
these
on
fireworks,
some
of
these
some
of
these
are
explosions.
A
It
sounds
like
we're
asking
the
respective
community
there
are
children,
small
children,
the
families
mothers
I,
have
in
father's
having
a
hard
time
with
their
small
children.
This
affecting
the
elderly,
it's
affecting
our
veterans,
we've
already
had
cases
and
heard
cases
of
PTSD
it's
affecting
our
animals
affecting
the
pets.
You
know
they're
not
funny.
It's
not
fun.
We
put
together
a
committee
last
week
to
look
at
the
fireworks
gonna
have
a
meeting
this
week,
I
invited
all
four
city
white
councilors
on
that
committee,
along
with
community
residents
that
have
conversations
about
this.
A
You
know-
and
this
isn't
a
Boston
problem.
Quite
honestly,
this
is
a
this
is
a
in
some
cases,
a
countrywide
problem
of
talk
to
other
mayor's
around
the
country
that
are
experiencing
the
same
situations,
certainly
in
Massachusetts,
but
I'm,
going
to
say
to
the
people
that
are
selling
the
fireworks
and
and
they're
definitely
being
sold
illegally.
Here.
If
we
find
you
we're
going
to
confiscate
them
and
if
you
have
large
amounts
of
fireworks,
you're
selling
them
to
communities,
you
will
be
arrested.
It's
it's!
A
It's
something
that
we're
going
to
take
very
seriously
and
we've
already
confiscated
in
the
city
of
Boston,
at
least
I.
Think
I've,
seen
on
reports
three
or
four
times
that
the
police
have
confiscated
a
large
amounts
of
fireworks
and
there's
been
confiscations
around
the
state.
I've
seen
it
I
believe
in
Malden
might
have
had
a
confiscation
in
some
other
places.
So
we're
going
to
be
we're
going
to
be
watching
and
monitoring
that
situation
and
we're
going
to
talk
more
about
it
later
this
week.
A
First
and
foremost,
the
the
the
the
people
using
the
beach
somebody's
front
yard
is
not
a
bathroom
and
it's
not
incumbent
upon
the
City
of
Boston
to
provide
a
bathroom
for
you,
especially
with
Kovac
we're
asking
people
to
be
careful
right
now.
Our
our
community
center
is
closed
for
a
reason
because
of
corporate
19,
we
haven't
even
started
summer
camp
chef
and
we're
being
very
conscious
of
that,
and
eventually
we're
going
to
be
opening
up
some
of
these
for
our
kids
and
you
know
we're
asking
people
just
that.
A
Take
precautions-
and
you
know
every
Beach
is
a
state
beach.
However,
it's
next
to
a
city
city
park
we've
had
some
some
initial
conversations
about
porta-potties
but
nothing's
been
finalized
yet,
but
we're
asking
people
you
shouldn't
be
if
you
get
caught
urinating
somebody's
yard
you
get
arrested
for
that,
have
respect
for
the
people
around
you.
You
know
you're
not
supposed
to
drink
on
the
beach
either
and
I
know
that
people
are
drinking
on
the
beach.
So
it's
a
public
beach.
A
A
A
I
would
suggest
that
they
take
a
few
minutes
to
read
the
budget
and
see
some
of
the
great
investments
in
that
budget
into
mental
health
services
and
recovery
services
and
into
schools
and
into
trauma
counseling
into
our
executive
order
on
race.
Three
million
dollars
goes
directly
to
help
create
that
there's
a
lot
of
good
investments
in
that
budget
and
again
vandalizing
and
approaching
somebody's
home
I've
never
been
a
fan
of
that.
A
Even
when
I
was
a
labor
activist
back
in
the
day,
I
never
thought
approaching.
Somebody's
home
was
the
right
call.
People
can
come
here
to
City
Hall
if
they
want.
If
they
disgruntled
about
a
city,
councilor
or
vote
or
the
mayor's
office,
you
can
call
you
can
call
3-1-1.
We
can
actually
well.
You
can
show
up
here
if
you,
like
any
other
questions
all
right.
Thank
you.
