While people of color make up 60.4% of the City of Boston’s population, the city’s notorious racist roots have often left communities of color behind and excluded from upward mobility. For women of color, however, we have known for too long the damaging effects of the erasure of our identities despite the contributions we make to ensure the growth, health, and safety of our City.

“Where We Stand,” hosted by We, Ceremony and Beya Jimenez, will highlight the women of color mayoral candidates and their visions for a just City of Boston. The forum will follow a round-robin format with the opportunity for candidates to share opening and closing statements. Through this format, young women of color voters will hear from the candidates on issues of importance to their communities such as racial justice, economic justice, environmental justice, immigration, transportation, education, and housing.

This event will center Millennial and Gen Z women of color and the issues that matter most to them.!
