“All of the various meetings that are of interest to older adults, which in most cases are held at night and people can t get to them and don t see them, are now available to all of us because of BIG,” he said.
Weiss hopes to see virtual meetings stick around, even as Massachusetts continues to roll back COVID-19 restrictions. Gov. Charlie Baker allowed remote participation in public meetings for the duration of Massachusetts’ state of emergency, which will end June 15, putting virtual meetings in limbo.

A few years ago, Brookline parent Soyoung L. Kim was on a trip to Castle Island with her kids when a stranger began yelling at her over a parking issue.
The man didn t say anything racist, but what I knew in my gut in that moment was that he wouldn’t be yelling at me if I wasn’t Asian, Kim recalled.

Reflecting on the moment, Kim said the bystander s actions made her feel safer and comforted her during an upsetting moment.
