Issue Position: A Voice for Inclusion

Issue Position

The towns of Ashland and Framingham are vibrant communities strengthened by their diversity. From preaching about social justice issues as a minister to leading a local nonprofit for at-risk teens, I have long advocated for the adoption of more inclusive policies in our Commonwealth. Many years ago, my first job was working as a habitation assistant for people with disabilities. Since that time, I have worked to rehabilitate people recently released from prison, tutored in area jails, led workshops and conversations on multiculturalism, and currently serve as the Affirmative Action & Outreach Officer for the Framingham Democratic Town Committee. My son's enrollment in a local Spanish-immersion public elementary school underscores my family's commitment to raising him to celebrate diversity and to thrive as a global citizen.
