What I Stand For
Accessibility
We believe that our government should constantly be asking itself these three important questions:
-
What are we doing to include all voices in the process of government decision-making?
-
What systems do we have in place that to hold our city representatives and government agencies fully accountable?
-
How can we remove the unnecessary barriers to our city’s resources and services?
During our time in office, we have made huge strides in changing the way business is done in the City of Boston in four main areas: Accessibility, Accountability, Transparency, and Civic Engagement. Here is some of what we’ve achieved:
