Boston Elected Officials Condemn "Hateful Attacks" On Mayor Michelle Wu
BOSTON (WBZNewsRadio) - A group of Boston elected officials of color released a statement Tuesday condemning what they're calling "ongoing threats of violence and hateful attacks" directed at Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
The mayor has recently been under pressure over the city's mask and vaccine mandates. She's also been met with protesters at City Hall, as well as outside her home in Roslindale.
Right now, face masks are required in all indoor public settings in the City of Boston for anyone over the age of 2 years old. People are also required to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination in order to enter certain indoor spaces. First responders in the city are suing over plans to mandate the vaccine without a testing option.
Since beginning her term, Mayor Wu has met the moment and worked tirelessly to address many of the greatest challenges facing our communitiesincluding combatting the ongoing pandemic that has robbed us of more than 1,600 lives across the City of Boston alone. It is due to her brave and steadfast leadership, her commitment to science and the public healthincluding her common-sense and life-saving vaccine mandatesthat the City of Boston is making necessary progress to combat this pandemic and protect our most vulnerable, according to the statement.
