Great @prowroxroz.bsky.social canvass kickoff for @patrickroath.bsky.social and @persisyu.bsky.social this morning!

Voters are speaking up. Again and again and again. And they’re all asking the same question: why won't Senator Mike Rush debate? We asked over a month ago, yet the silence continues. 🧵 #DemocracyStartsAtHome #MaPoli #BosPoli #VotersDeserveAnswers #Debate

VICTORY!!!!!! We won!! Judge vacates Trump's authoritarian rule to illegally deny Public Service Loan Forgiveness to workers who serve undocumented immigrants, providing health care to transgender youth, and to other groups Trump hates.

Some news worth sharing: the @pplmvotes.org has endorsed Persis Yu for State Senate. At a time when reproductive freedom is under attack just about everywhere, that says something about where this race stands. 🧵

I’m calling on Senator Rush to join me in 3 debates over the next 3 months. With less than 100 days left until the Sept. 1 primary, voters have a right to know where their elected officials stand on the issues that affect their everyday lives. Will he come?#DemocracyStartsAtHome #MAPoli #BosPoli

Yesterday afternoon, I sat down with the Neponset Valley Progressives to have a real Q&A. And I spoke about why #freechildcare is one of the most important investments #Massachusetts leaders can make.

One year ago, I sued the Trump admin for illegally blocking millions from affordable student loan repayment options. Today, Trump is still being forced to cancel loans because that lawsuit is working. Fighting back works. It's why I'm running. #DemocracyStartsAtHome #studentloans #studentdebt

#EidMubarak to all who celebrated this holy month! 🌙 Ramadan is a season of reflection, community, and showing up for each other. Those values are at the heart of everything I'm fighting for. Wishing our Muslim neighbors a joyful Eid filled with love and celebration. #Eid2025 #DemocracyStartsAtHome

Today's revelations about César Chávez are gutting. We cannot look away from what the @NYTimes.com has reported. To the survivors: we see you. We believe you. And we are grateful for your courage. #believewomen #farmworkers #labormovement

Massachusetts is first in a lot of things, but the cost of housing shouldn't be one of them. And yet, every day, families are being priced out of the neighborhoods they built. I'm running for state senate to change this. #DemocracyStartsAtHome #Housing #Walpole #Dedham #Norwood

Real representation doesn't start on Beacon Hill. It starts here--in our neighborhoods, at our local businesses, with the people who make Norfolk & Suffolk home. Persis Yu shows up before Election Day. That's the difference. Community first. Always. 🏘️ #DemocracyStartsAtHome

Meet the newest member of #TeamPersis! He's paw-litically engaged 🐾 #DemocracyStartsAtHome

Pop quiz! What do these things have in common? Answer: When oil prices spike, so does the cost of everything here. That's a system that leaves working families exposed — and it's exactly what we're fighting to change. Democracy starts at home. And right now, home is getting more expensive every day.

I got a letter from my oil company saying that the cost to heat my home is going up... again. Trump's escalation of this forever war means that a crisis happening halfway around the world lands directly on our kitchen tables. I'm fighting back! Read about how: bit.ly/3NkPQM1 #DemocracyStartsAtHome

Such a powerful conversation. 🙏 I joined the #BlackTeachersMatterInc and we covered a lot, from the state of our public school buildings to why it matters who leads our communities. This is exactly the kind of conversation we need more of. 🎙️ bit.ly/4sCelmO #DemocracyStartsAtHome #BlackTeachers

Thank you to Jamaica Plain Progressives for the chance to speak at your forum tonight!! I appreciated the thoughtful questions on affordability, housing, healthcare, ICE, and community engagement. Grateful for the conversation and the work to build a more just and affordable community!!!

Gathering in the historic center of Dedham on the anniversary of the Boston Massacre. A somber night to recognize all those killed by ICE combined with singing and community building. We take back our democracy by coming together and speaking out!

Can’t wait to be a part of this conversation!!

Reminder to join us this Sunday at 7 pm for a Candidate Conversation featuring @persisyu.bsky.social & @patrickroath.bsky.social -- Persis is challenging state sen. Mike Rush and Patrick is running against MA-08 Rep. Stephen Lynch. Register at tinyurl.com/JPPCandidate...!

Looking forward to joining JP Progressives on Sunday for a great conversation! Come join us and hear what this campaign is about. Sunday, March 8 at 7pm at the Farnsworth House in JP.

Democracy in action at both the Westwood and Dedham caucus! Two rare contested elections for delegates to the Mass Dem convention. People are pumped for this next election!!! Also, loved seeing the youth engagement!

Utility bills are too high. But we should be questioning distribution rates and corporate profits, not cutting Mass Save. Helping families make their homes more efficient is good environmental policy and good economics. Link to article: commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/house...

This amazing group of volunteers (and others not pictured) have been all over the district and have collected hundreds of signatures!!! If you see them around with clipboards, be sure to give them a friendly hello and to sign if you live in the district. This is democracy in action!!!

Kicked off Mass Dem caucus season with a packed house in Norwood yesterday! Grateful for the opportunity to speak to Norwood Democrats and collect more signatures! . . . #ElectPersis #PersisforMASenate #MAPoli #BosPoli #DemocracyStartsAtHome #Norwood

Fantastic LTE in the Globe yesterday highlighting our campaign! The fight against Trump begins at home with bold ideas to protect our most vulnerable neighbors and deliver for working families. Thank you @RoyKarp 👏👏👏 . . #ElectPersis #PersisforMASenate #MAPoli #BosPoli #DemocracyStartsAtHome

Coverage of campaign kickoff!!! “Right now, we need state legislators who are willing to stand up to their own leadership, push back against corporate lobbyists and put families before billionaires,” she said. flipsidenews.net/hyde-park-ca...
