Following the recent tragic violence that has rocked our community, the Mayor’s Office held a community outreach forum with opportunities for residents to connect with local organizations, community resources, and supports. The event was also be a space to mourn, reflect, process, and discuss next steps.

I want to thank everyone who showed up to our Community Outreach Public Forum on September 15th.

Many residents shared their feedback and questions, which we will use to guide the way in which the City expands, enhances, and improves our services and programs.

The City of Lynn is committed to working with the community to prioritize public safety and provide positive alternatives for our youth.

In September, I was joined by Representative Cahill, Dr. Alvarez, Lynn Teachers Union President Sheila O'Neil, and other Gateway City mayors to testify before the Joint Committee on Education on the challenges associated with the construction and rehabilitation of school facilities particularly in Gateway Cities.

Together, we voiced our support for S. 251 & H. 441 An Act Modernizing School Construction, which would reform the funding formula of school-construction funding through the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and ensure our City and students receive equitable opportunities in education.

The community gathered at City Hall in observance of National Recovery Month Celebration for the City of Lynn, organized by the Department of Public Health.

National Recovery Month celebrates individuals during their long-term recoveries and those beginning their recovery journey. We greatly appreciate all the organizations, agencies, and residents who joined us in supporting those in recovery and remembering the lives lost to substance use disorder.

It is truly a community effort to increase public awareness and education surrounding mental health and the path to recovery. We are grateful for the dedicated service providers and community leaders who work to promote recovery programs and resources for residents and make recovery in all its forms possible.

The City came together to march in solidarity for the victims and families impacted by the recent acts of gun violence and to underscore our shared belief that violence has no home here in Lynn.

Thank you to LYSOA, Stop the Violence, and Mothers Against Violence for organizing this march and for all the participants, who are crucial to generating momentum in our collaborative efforts to end gun violence and show our young people that there are positive alternatives.

Thank you to everyone who attended Lynnside Out this year and made the festival extra special. Our community came together to meet with City departments, learn more about city-wide initiatives and projects, and connect with community resources in Lynn.

We hope that with Lynnside Out, more residents feel welcome to visit City Hall, stay connected with us, and seek the resources they may need!
