As you may have heard, there is an incredibly divisive local ballot question this November in Somerville
and we are urging people to vote no. It is being proposed as a response to the conflict in Gaza, but does not actually help Palestinians.
The ballot question ignores the problems here in Somerville, creates tension and fear, and pits neighbors against neighbors. That’s not justice for anyone.
Vote NO on or before November 4th
Vote NO to keep Somerville focused on what matters here at home
- Somerville families are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living.
- Our infrastructure is in need of critical updates.
- Our schools and health care are at risk from federal budget cuts.
This Ballot Question takes our focus off Somerville & will not help Palestinians
- It is non-binding and would not be enforceable if passed. It simply distracts us from the important issues here in Somerville.
- A welcoming community like Somerville should not pass something that is illegal and violates numerous anti-discrimination laws.
- It will lead to lawsuits, wasted resources, and deeper divisions in Somerville.
