  • Birth to Eight Collaborative Early Childhood Mayoral Recommendations
    Birth to Eight Collaborative Early Childhood Mayoral Recommendations These attached Mayoral Recommendations were created by the Birth to Eight Collaborative based on the goals developed by the Collaborative, the work we have engaged in together over the past five years and what we have learned during the pandemic. Draft recommendations were discussed at a collaborative wide meeting in April, updated with the convening feedback in May, and distributed to the membership for comment and sign on in June. The final recommendations were then shared in July with the campaigns of all six candidates for Mayor of the City of Boston. As of July 29, 2021, the five candidates have endorsed the recommendations. They are: John Barros, Former Chief of Economic Development, City of Boston Andrea Campbell, Boston City Council, District 4 Annissa Essaibi George, Boston City Council, At-Large Kim Janey, Acting Mayor, City of Boston Michelle Wu, Boston City Council, At-Large For more information on the recommendations or to learn more about the Birth to Eight Collaborative, please contact Kristin McSwain, Executive Director of the Boston Opportunity Agenda. [email protected] Birth to Eight Collaborative Early Childhood Mayoral Recommendations OUR VISION Make Boston the leader in serving and prioritizing young children and families by creating a 21st century early childhood ecosystem. Boston requires a mayor who will take an active role in achieving this vision and driving our city’s early childhood leadership. We offer these recommendations to guide the next mayor in prioritizing resources and attention on efforts that will ensure Boston’s thriving future. All Boston children, particularly those traditionally most marginalized, need access to high quality early education and care.

  • The 2021 Boston Mayoral Race
    HISTORY IN THE MAKING: THE 2021 BOSTON MAYORAL RACE Last month, Boston broke a 200-year streak of exclusively white, male Mayors with Kim Janey’s inauguration. Janey just announced her campaign for the full-term Mayoral seat, adding her candidacy to a historically diverse field that already included three City Councilors and women of color: Andrea Campbell, Annissa Essaibi George, and Michelle Wu. The significance of this race : Boston has never had such a diverse field to hold the city’s top Executive Office. For the first time, the field for Mayor will reflect the demographics of Boston, which is 52% women and 55% people of color. As City Councilors, each woman in this race has already made significant progress in a city with a political scene that Barbara Lee, founder and president of the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, calls the “original old boys club” for its insular and homogenous history. At the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, we’ve identified an “imagination barrier” that hinders voters from perceiving women as executive leaders. Kim Janey has chipped away at that barrier for Boston—and now Campbell, Essaibi George, Janey, and Wu’s campaigns will continue to represent a new face of leadership for the city. 1 What research shows about the field: Barbara Lee Family Foundation research shows that the idea that women are not as electable as their male counterparts is a myth. However, women, and particularly women of color, are held to different, higher standards on the campaign trail than men. While men are assumed to be qualified for office, women must prove their qualifications over and over again.

  • Boston Coalition for Education Equity 2019 City Council Candidate
    Boston Coalition for Education Equity 2019 City Council Candidate Questionnaire QUESTION: Briefly list any involvement you have had in legislative efforts or ballot campaigns related to other aspects of education, particularly around funding and/or equity. AT LARGE Domingos DaRosa I have and attended rally’s and shared information regarding “Fund our future”! I have mobilize parents at Orchard Garden K-8 Pilot school in Roxbury to join the efforts, and raise concerns around safety in our schools. Annissa Essaibi-George As I previously mentioned, I filed legislation in opposition to Ballot Question 2. I have also testified at the State House regarding the Promise Act and filed a resolution in City Council in support, which passed in the City Council. Additionally, throughout my years as a City Councilor I have served as Vice-Chair and now Chair of the Education Committee in the Boston City Council and throughout the years have filed numerous legislation, from implementing full-time nurses and social emotional support specialist in all schools to analyzing the safety and security measures taken to protect school environments from threatening situations, to IEP's and Vocational Education. I also attend every single budget hearing and strongly advocate throughout the education hearings. Michael F Flaherty We live in a competitive global economy that requires our students to have equally competitive skills to fully participate in it. To enable another tool to close the achievement gap, I called for a hearing to discuss the implementation of Year 13 for BPS students. Through a voluntary, intensive, year-long college prep program - allowing for subject-matter acumen and SAT prep - Year 13 aims for entrance into a four-year college, vocational-technical school and/or community college as well as workforce development.
