City Council election?

By voting in high numbers, we can increase our voting power and support a progressive agenda that promotes inclusion for all Boston residents. Otherwise, the respect and equity we deserve is in jeopardy.

We gotta keep people in the community motivated. We’re the majority in this city and we have to show our power. If we don’t vote, we might as well be in the minority.

It’s important. Things need to change for us in Roxbury. Our property taxes are too high and our community is being gentrified. We need people to go to bat for us.

It’s important because four of the people running are people of color — the only ones on the City Council. We need to express support for the people who make sure our voice is heard on the council.

We need better health care and better schools. We need to reduce the dropout rate.

We have to let the community know that their voices are heard and represented at the city level.
