Dear Neighbors,

This coming Wednesday, March 1 at 7pm, the Wards 5 and 6 Neighborhood Planning Assemblies (NPAs) are jointly sponsoring a:

SOUTH END COUNCIL CANDIDATES' FORUM ON PROPOSITION ZERO.

Do you have questions about "Proposition Zero" (Ballot Question #8)? Would you like to hear more from the three candidates (Will Anderson, FaRied Munarsyah, and Joan Shannon) for the South End District City Council seat? This is your chance to engage with the candidates and hear from them about this ballot question.

I am excited to join my Ward 5 City Councilor colleague, Ben Traverse, in moderating this candidate forum focused on Ballot Question #8 ("Proposition Zero"). This event will take place on Wednesday, March 1st, 7-8:30 PM, with great appreciation to the Greek Orthodox Church, 600 Willard Street (access from the parking lot on Ledge Road) for offering us their community space.

You can attend in person at the church (doors will not open prior to 6:45) or on-line*.*
