So far, Massachusetts’ vaccine rollout has been too slow and has failed to
address key equity concerns that have made it more difficult for
communities hardest hit by COVID-19 to get vaccinated.
That’s why, yesterday, Ayanna wrote a letter urging Governor Charlie Baker
to act with urgency and put the health and safety of our most vulnerable
communities at the center of the Commonwealth’s COVID-19 response.
Along with pushing for a more robust, transparent, equitable state-level
response, we’re supporting the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and
Merrimack Valley, because it’s fallen on our community organizations to
stand in the gap.
The United Way is providing desperately needed emergency services to our
hardest hit communities in the form of financial support for rent/housing,
food, and other necessities, as well as supporting on-the-ground programs
working to meet those needs.

Ayanna is demanding that Governor Baker:
* Commit to prioritizing hot spot communities in the early phases of
vaccine deployment;
* Commit to building out robust, community-centered programs to begin
delivering and administering vaccines in hot spot communities;
* Partner with and invest in Community Health Centers throughout the
Commonwealth to ensure that vaccination sites and culturally competent
care are accessible in the hardest to reach communities.
Since the onset of this pandemic, more than 480,000 of our neighbors have
contracted COVID-19, and more than 14,000 lives have been stolen by the
virus.
And as cases continue to spike across Massachusetts, the Baker
Administration’s response has been deeply inadequate.
Ayanna will continue to push for the resources and bold action — at the
state and federal level — necessary to get a handle on the crisis. In the
meantime, we’ll continue organizing to ensure that our communities are
taken care of. Here’s how you can help:
