Digital Candidates Forum on Racial Justice
Police brutality. Health disparities. Jobs. COVID-19 recovery. All politics are local. Where do the candidates for state and federal seats representing Springfield stand on the issues at the center of the racial justice movement? Join us and hear directly from candidates and how they plan to fight for communities of color and for policies that seek to eradicate systemic racism. Already confirmed candidates include City Councilor Orlando Ramos and School Committee member Denise Hurst (for 9th Hampden District House seat), Senator Jim Welch and City Councilor Adam Gomez (for Hampden District Senate seat) and Mayor Alex Morse (for U.S. Congress House District 1). More announcements coming soon!
