Dear Mayor Walsh Jr.,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history , social justice, and public policy. In these subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed, and many others. Mayor Walsh Jr.,  the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 54^th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts to be very inspiring to me and how you inspire me to work hard on autism and to wish you a Happy Birthday for April 10^th.

In your current role as 54^th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts, I really like on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, supporting funds to help women including minorities businesses compete in the economy, and expressing the need to improve equal pay for women including minorities, and pushing for tough laws to help combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different.   Your approach on improving the economy like expand on job-training programs to help youth including workers to develop job-skills to help prepare for the workforce, support the need to raise the minimum wage to help minimum wage workers afford to live, and create Economic Mobility Innovation Lab, a commission to find ways to combat against income inequality is common sense.  On education, I like on how you provide funds for special education to help students with disabilities get educational resources they need, expand on after school programs to help youth get help on their assignments from tutors or do recreational programs, and partner with community colleges around Boston  to provide free-tuition for students who are low-income that graduated from high school.  On the environment, I liked on how you are very committed to combat against climate change including pollution by pushing for more renewable energy sources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, providing funds to help clean parks including water resources to help make them safe for people to use, implementing environmental educational programs to help teach people about different ways to protect the environment.  On social justice, I really like on how you are a strong advocate for the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed,  work on a goal to create affordable housing for people who can’t afford to live or are homeless,   and teaming up with law enforcement to work on reducing racial profiling along with expand on community policing to reduce tensions between law enforcement and the community.

Mayor Walsh, Jr., I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because  I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  On February 7^th 2017 I enjoy watching your interview on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah because you did a great job emphasizing the need for immigration reform, how I is important to help protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed without probable cause, and explain the need for U.S. Mayors to team up together to support immigration reform.  Your work as current mayor of Boston, Massachusetts and your continuous support for social justice, Civil Rights, and immigration reform motivates me to continue my interest in learning history and social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, improve social justice, have a strong immigration reform, and many others. Also my letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and to wish you a Happy Birthday for April 10^th.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your current role. I’m  very proud on how you are very committed to improve Civil Rights, make social justice a better place, protect the environment, and have immigration reform.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability and to continue my interest in learning history with social justice.  I was wondering if you could please share some advice about working hard on autism.   Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, pushing for common sense ideas, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to make great progress and continue to push for common sense ideas. I hope someday I can get a chance to meet you and visit Boston

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
