A graphic honoring Renee Nicole Good.

Renee was a mother, daughter, poet, & compassionate community member.

She should be alive today. But instead, she was murdered in broad daylight by masked ICE agents in Minnesota.

I was sorry to miss this while at the First They Listen council forum at the Cambridge YWCA (another moment I wished I could be in two places at once).

Grateful for this honor and for the important work @abundanthousingma.org does advocating for housing policy across the Commonwealth.
