We wrapped up the afternoon in Dorchester, stopping into @50Kitchen and talking with local businesses during a roundtable hosted at @blarneystonedot. Really appreciate having @RepDanHunt with us, and hearing what is on the minds of Fields Corner #MASmallBiz owners.

You might not consider yourself racist, but can you call yourself anti-racist yet? How about your school or workplace? Actively working to dismantle racism & support liberation from it > just not “acting racist." #FSNEEquityChallenge fsne.info/FSNEEquityChalleng…
