Share your hopes, ideas, and creative visions for the future of Boston with Mayor Wu while enjoying food, music, art, and more! Friday, January 9 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. Mattahunt Community Center."

Mayor Wu can be seen from behind in front of a podium. An audience stands before her. Large text reads "If we can invent America, then we can be the city that forges the path forward in this moment," along with her signature.

If we are only willing to try, with a little help from each other, we can build the future our families deserve. Thank you Boston for the honor of building it together.
God Bless the city and people of Boston. Now, let’s get back to work. #BostonInauguration

Every one of us, from our earliest days, is living proof that last month’s impossible can become this morning’s milestones—that if we are only willing to try, we can build the future our families deserve. #BostonInauguration

But some part of Mira already knows that progress takes courage—the willingness to take the next step when the ground isn’t certain. #BostonInauguration

Mira doesn’t know Henry Knox, or the physics that explain why her laughter this morning hung in this hall like a bell.
She doesn’t know that we celebrate Evacuation Day in Boston because Knox was creative & brave—because he dared to find a way forward, and because the ice held. #BostonInauguration

With creativity and courage, imagination and will, he forged a path and pressed on—knowing the ice might not hold. #BostonInauguration

250 years ago, Henry Knox didn’t charge onto the ice of the Hudson. He wrote a letter to Washington explaining the challenge he faced. He took a moment to gather himself and reflect, but he didn’t wait for certainty, either. #BostonInauguration

Unlike her older brothers, who couldn’t wait to go from wobbling to walking and running, Mira decided that, after taking her first two steps—and a tumble—a month ago, she wasn’t sure she wanted to do it again. #BostonInauguration

But, here with me this morning on this very stage, she took one wobbly step, then another, then looked up and laughed.
They weren’t her very first steps, but they were her first in a while. #BostonInauguration

Right now, backstage, there’s someone who doesn’t know anything about acoustics or walking on ice.
In fact, she’s just barely learning to walk. #BostonInauguration

We are the city that created whole new neighborhoods out of swampland and invented the triple-decker to tackle the housing crises of our past.
We will not be defeated by the affordability crisis of the present. #BostonInauguration

Over the next four years, we will continue inventing new ways to use public planning, public finance, and public land to create the homes our residents need, because we know that housing is a public good. #BostonInauguration
