Vote to build a movement-not just elect another candidate

Please join me in supporting Will Mbah for Mayor -- and although I don't live in Ward 5 or Ward 7 -- Tessa Bridge and Becca Miller for city council.

I generally vote for pro-union, pro-working class, and pro-good jobs candidates. These three candidates are certainly the best from that vantage point. I also support them because they are the candidates of a movement that seeks to address rising economic inequality and systemic racism caused by a rigged economy and a broken political system.

If we ever hope to wrest Somerville politics away from the hands of developers and the rich, we need a movement that can hold our elected officials accountable. Our Revolution Somerville is building that movement and these candidates are excited to be part of it. While some of the others may be good candidates, they are not part of a movement for systemic change.

I'm so tired of the rhetoric of "change" from liberal politicians and then year-after-year nothing actually changes. Please use your vote on September 14 to continue the political revolution.
