  • Michelle Wu President, Boston City Council
    Michelle Wu President, Boston City Council Michelle Wu has been a voice for accessibility, transparency, and community engagement in city leadership. First elected to the Boston City Council in November 2013 at the age of 28, Wu is the first Asian-American woman to serve on the Council. In January 2014, she was elected President of the City Council by her colleagues in a unanimous vote, becoming the first woman of color to serve as Council President. Councilor Wu was the lead sponsor of Boston’s Paid Parental Leave ordinance and Healthcare Equity ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity -- both of which passed unanimously through the Council and were signed into law by Mayor Martin J. Walsh. She also authored Boston’s Communications Access ordinance, which guarantees translation, interpretation and assistive technology for access to city services regardless of English language proficiency or communications disability. Wu got her start in City Hall working for Mayor Thomas M. Menino as a Rappaport Fellow in Law and Public Policy, where she created the city’s first guide to the restaurant permitting process from start to finish, and was also a driving force to launch Boston’s food truck program. She later served as statewide Constituency Director in the U.S. Senate campaign of her former law professor, Elizabeth Warren. Michelle Wu graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. She is fluent in Mandarin and Spanish, and lives in Roslindale with her husband Conor and her two year-old son Blaise. U HARVARD CLUB OF BOSTON Boston’s Most Influential Women.

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.

  • 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.

  • Stop Surveillance in Boston! Advocacy Tool Kit
    Updated May 2020 Contact: Matt Allen, [email protected], 508-410-1547 ​ ​ Stop Surveillance in Boston! Advocacy Tool Kit Background: The Boston City Council is considering two local ordinances which reign in unregulated surveillance by the Boston Police and other city agencies. The Council needs to see that the community wants policies or they won’t take action to protect our civil rights. The City council is expected to hold a public hearing on these proposals soon. Face Surveillance Ban: The face surveillance ban will prevent city agencies from ​ using face surveillance software, ensuring that people are not subject to unregulated, mass surveillance in public spaces. The proposed ban protects our freedom of speech and our privacy. It also promotes racial justice and safeguards immigrants’ rights today and for future generations. Learn more about the issue in general here and about local ​ ​ face surveillance bans here. ​ Community Control Over Police Surveillance: The Community Control Over Police ​ Surveillance (CCOPS) ordinance protects privacy, civil liberties, and the democratic process by requiring police departments to get community buy-in before acquiring new surveillance technologies. The ordinance sets up a democratic, transparent process so the public is fully informed and engaged in the conversation about what police departments are doing, and why. Learn more about CCOPS here. ​ How Can You Help? Please let Matt Allen at the ACLU know when you’ve taken any of these actions by sending a quick email to [email protected] or text to 508-410-1547. We need to know ​ ​ how many calls and emails get into the council so we can track our progress.

  • AAPI Women in Politics Report Massachusetts Focus - 2021
    AAPI Women in Politics Report Massachusetts Focus - 2021 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Asian American Commission (AAC) is committed to advocating for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community throughout Massachusetts. To learn more, visit the AAC website at www.aacommission.org. AAPI Women in Politics Report | 2 Why AAPI Women Representation Matters1 Although the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community is the fastest growing demographic in the United States, AAPI individuals—and AAPI women in particular—remain vastly underrepresented in elected offices across the country. This disparity matters. When AAPI women’s voices are more proportionately represented at policymaking tables, they give visibility to the needs of underserved communities and help ensure that federal, state, and local policies are more responsive to diverse constituencies. In short, increasing AAPI women’s political representation leads to a more inclusive, robust, and effective democracy. While AAPI women representation has hit a Left to right: record high in several legislative bodies this Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven (House) year, numerous barriers and gaps persist. This Rep. Maria Duaime Robinson (House) report explores many of these realities and calls Rep. Vanna Howard (House) Rep. Tram T. Nguyen (House) for greater gender and racial equality among Rep. Sonia Chang-Diaz (Senate) the elected leaders who represent diverse communities across the United States.2 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Asian American Commission (AAC) is committed to advocating for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community throughout Massachusetts.

  • Alliance to Boston City Council 4.25.17
    April 25, 2017 Councilor Michael Flaherty, Chairman Committee on Government Operations Via email: [email protected] Re: Docket #0566, “An Act Protecting Sunlight and Promoting Economic Development in the City of Boston” Dear Councilor Flaherty, The Boston Preservation Alliance is Boston’s primary, non-profit advocacy organization that protects and promotes the use of historic buildings and landscapes in all of the city’s neighborhoods. With 40 Organizational Members, 98 Corporate Members, and a reach of 35,000 friends and supporters we represent a diverse constituency advocating for the thoughtful evolution of the city and celebration of its unique character. We appreciate the opportunity to offer comments on projects that impact the historic character of the city. Thank you for the opportunity to present testimony at yesterday’s hearing. My testimony is attached for your reference. The Alliance has been consistent and clear in our previous comments on the Winthrop Square project, submitting letters to the BPDA in January and February and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs last December in anticipation of their Scoping determinations for environmental review. We remain adamant that any effort to facilitate this project through legal maneuvers is inappropriate given the impact of the project has not yet been determined. As I noted in our testimony, The Boston Preservation Alliance is strongly opposed to the Home Rule Petition. The proposal weakens rather than provides further protection for the city’s resources by setting a very bad precedent that protective laws and regulations can be changed to facilitate one project if enough money is put on the table.
