For 35 years, we’ve sponsored The Walk for Hunger, which marshals 40,000 Walkers and 200,000 supporters to provide food for those in immediate need. At the same time that we vigorously advocate for the resources to support soup kitchens, food pantries, and food banks across the state, we work just as vigorously to prevent emergencies. After all, hunger is a complicated problem that calls for a mix of solutions. And Project Bread has become a national leader in integrating traditional responses like food pantries with innovative community partnerships designed to prevent emergencies from happening. In the past year, we’ve been working in 20 of the lowest-income communities in the state, putting hunger prevention on the agenda for local leaders and finding new ways to protect families. From innovative efforts like serving rural communities with home-delivered summer meals to vibrant new partnerships between farmers and schools, we’re at the cutting edge of alleviating and ending hunger in Massachusetts.

"There is no hist.ory of people getting hurt on that sidewalk. People going into the stores go in only for a short period of time with the exception of the hair salon. Now [with the bar­ rier] they will be forced to illegally park on Lake Street and Commonwealth Avenue,"said Martin Grealish whose father has owned the properly for 15 years.

It’s been a great year! What a school! Together we celebrated academic achievement and athletic excellence, enjoyed artistic presentations and theatrical productions, explored new interests and made new friends. We’ve learned much and shared experiences that will long remain with us. The strength of our community and wholehearted passion to make our school a wonderful place of learning for our students primarily, but for all of us too, makes AC a truly a special place. 50! We celebrated our fiftieth graduating class in May. This is a huge milestone for our school. Thank you to all the alumni from our first graduating class who attended our ceremony. It was hard to tell who was more excited, the Class of ’64 or the Class of ’14. We also celebrated our school’s history in March when we renovated Founder’s Hall, dedicating the school Chapel to Monsignor O’Gorman and debuting a display recognizing the important work of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. This permanent recognition to those who built our school is now open for all to see.

    Final Report of the Committee on Policing Reforms

    THE BROOKLINE SELECT BOARD COMMITTEE ON POLICING REFORMS FINAL REPORT Final Report Adopted on March 24th, 2021 TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD - by Bernard Greene, Chair of the Brookline Select Board and Chair of the Policing Reforms Committee 2 INTRODUCTION 5 SUBCOMMITTEE ON ACCOUNTABILITY 22 SUBCOMMITTEE ON CIVIL RIGHTS, MILITARY EQUIPMENT, AND MASS EVENTS 45 SUBCOMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH, YOUTH, NONTRADITIONAL ROLES 87 SUBCOMMITTEE ON MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER 106 SUBCOMMITTEE ON PERSONNEL AND GOVERNANCE 124 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE Marty Rosenthal 151 Raj Dhanda 168 APPENDICES - IN SEPARATE VOLUME 171 1 FOREWORD This report of the Select Board’s Committee on Policing Reforms (the “Reforms Committee'') is written for the residents of the Town of Brookline, to describe in some detail what our very good, but not perfect Brookline Police Department (“BPD”) does for the community beyond being Cops on the Beat and to propose important reforms that will result in a more perfect police department and community. This report is only the most recent iteration of the Town of Brookline’s ongoing efforts to improve policing to better serve the community1 and, if adopted, the recommendations in this report will not only result in immediate benefits but will create changes to the structure of policing in Brookline that will have long lasting benefits. MAKEUP OF THE COMMITTEE. The Committee was intentionally organized to include racial and gender diversity, a diversity of life and professional experiences, and a diversity of viewpoints. Such diversity results in the creative tension that increases the potential for success of any undertaking.
