On July 4th, as the country celebrated its 250th birthday, Hyatt Regency Cambridge workers leafletted outside the property. The hotel workers are asking customers, companies, & the community not to eat, sleep, or meet in the hotel until they have a fair process to decide on unionization.

Great to join hotel workers with @local26-unitehere.bsky.social at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge to demand a fair process for union recognition!

⚡️Last night was electric! ⚡️ In the midst of a tornado warning, we had a full house of community leaders and members, fired up about the vision of a city and state that can pass progressive policy and isn’t stymied by State House Leadership who aren’t meeting the moment to fight for working people.

We’re so grateful to our speakers, @votejivan.bsky.social, Rena Lieb, and Kay Ljunggren for sharing why they’re in this fight.

“It’s nice when government can actually respond to things fast” Cheers to being able to deliver on good things quickly! (And it shouldn’t just happen when the World Cup is in town)

Great to speak at the launch event for @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social’s re-election campaign for state rep in Cambridge! Mike has been a leader in the push for social housing (and I’m excited our Social Housing Task Force kicks off its 1st meeting next week!)

I don’t agree with every single thing in this @votejivan.bsky.social piece, but I definitely gonna veer closer to his stance than Jake Auchincloss and Bret Goddamn Stephens

Wrote about our work on housing on the Cambridge City Council in @jacobinmag.bsky.social! Our housing crisis isn’t caused by gov’t. It’s caused by state & federal electeds failing to legislate and empowering bad actors. It’s time for more bold action at the local level jacobin.com/2026/05/sobr...

Great event on employee owned businesses & succession planning at Cambridge City Hall today on May Day! Thanks to Circus Coop Cafe @portersqbooks.bsky.social and others for participating and Cambridge’s Economic Development folks for organizing

Beautiful May Day to march with Cambridge Education Association, @bostondsa.org and others from Cambridge to Boston Common for worker and immigrants rights, public education, and making billionaires pay taxes!

Incredible experience to meet @aoc.bsky.social and our very own @ayannapressley.bsky.social with @votejivan.bsky.social yesterday. Running for office as a democratic socialist is an intense, challenging, and at times isolating experience, especially as candidates of color.

Proud to stand with Harvard University workers from @hgsuuaw and @haworkers who are on strike! They're fighting for a fair contract with harassment & discrimination safeguards, fair compensation, and protections for immigrant workers

Good luck, speakers! I can’t make it tonight, but said my piece via email yesterday. Thanks to @councilloralzubi.bsky.social and @votejivan.bsky.social for putting the PO forward, and to @cambbikesafety.bsky.social for their work as always.

Oh my. 82 people in line for public comment at tonight's #cambma city council meeting. I assume most of them return to the barricades on the question of Garden St. and 2-way traffic vs. parking (vs. bike lanes) which is raised for the first time with this year's new city councillors.

Done. Now on to CMA#6, the Ahern v. Sig Sauer settlement for $400,000-ish. Well, transfer of $400,000 to support the settlement.

JSW will oppose the settlement and thinks it'll cost the city "far more money."

“Cambridge’s home rule petition is one way the city can help keep attention and pressure on the issue, and I’m glad we moved forward with it last night,” Sobrinho-Wheeler told Cambridge Day via email.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our press conference to announce my run for State Senate this morning!!! A big thank you to MTA, IBEW 2222, @votejivan.bsky.social Jon Link, and JT Scott and for all of our incredible community members and supporters for coming out to support this morning!
