Goal: To develop a series of questions which can be asked of potential candidates for City and State offices (Councillor, Mayor, Senator, Representative, DA, etc.) this questionnaire should represent the broad views of the community and help determine which candidates are most in tune with our ideals and worthy of endorsements and votes.
To construct a local Boston Black Agenda that will address the myriad of issues facing African-Americans living in Boston. Once created, the Boston Black Agenda will serve as a blue print to addressing these issues and implementing policies at a city and state level that will seek to improve quality of life in Boston.
THERE IS A RENAISSANCE happening in Boston. Take a look at the activity in the Seaport District — restaurants, cultural events, start-ups and new visitors. Roslindale Square has become a bustling village with new restaurants and shops opening seemingly every day. In my own neighborhood of Dorchester, Tavolo Restaurant and Ashmont Grill have become community anchors for residents and travelers arriving by train, bus, and car. But what about Roxbury or Mattapan?
B.A.Y. uses culture to promote unity in Boston’s communities of color. By promoting the best of our legacy, creativity, and human resources, we build esteem and connect to the natural wealth of our community. Through this simple notion of recognizing & loving ourselves, we encourage support for each other and work toward the conclusion of healthier communities.
Come and join us as we raise funds for Cindy Diggs who suffered a tragic fire with her family on Christmas Eve. Cindy has dedicated herself to helping the City of Boston’s Youth through her efforts organizing Peace Boston as well as UMMF an effort to galvanize Boston’s Hip-Hop community.
