Murylo Batista, a Mashpee resident and public health researcher, told the selectmen at their meeting that âfour homicides in the past year of Mashpee women or of women in Mashpee has shown that the safety and well-being of women are being jeopardized in our town.â
âWe cannot approach the problem of violence from the perspective of failureâthat we, Mashpee, failed somehowâbecause it extenuates feelings of blame and guilt which are not useful or relevant for building solutions,â Mr. Batista said. âPersonally Iâm not okay living in a world where our mothers, our sisters and our daughters are not safe, so today I invite the board of selectmen, the town administrators and the residents of Mashpee in declaring that violence has no place at home.â

Markey said, praising the tribe for vaccinating many of its own members and staff in the Mashpee public school system. âWe congratulate you on that and the leadership that you are showing.â
