Local Actions, More Voices
Keynote Message: Rep. Ayanna Pressley (7th Congressional District)
Presentations: Gerly Adrien (Everett City Councilor and Mayoral Candidate); Helena Berbano ( Partnership and Outreach Director, Asian American Futures); Zane Crute (President, Mystic Valley NAACP)
Moderator: David Whitford, nationally known journalist and Arlington resident
The forum will explore key questions including:
▪ Why is local and community activism important? How does it connect to the other issues?
▪ How do we encourage more people to get involved, particularly those who are typically underrepresented?
▪ What are some specific ways we can ensure a meaningful role for all?
Following analysis and first-hand perspectives from the panel, attendees will engage in breakout strategy sessions, coming away with specific insights and action items to
equip both experienced activists and first-timers alike with concrete ways to make a critical difference.
The series is cosponsored by the Democratic Town Committees of:
Belmont, Boxborough, Brookline, Concord, Lenox, Lexington, Malden, Watertown, and Weston, as well as by organizing groups Indivisible Acton Area, Indivisible Billerica Tewksbury Wilmington, Our Revolution Arlington, Swing Left Greater Boston, Voter Choice Massachusetts, and Young Democrats of Massachusetts.
