 Cracks in OUR REVOLUTION: Somerville?

I am withdrawing my consideration for endorsement from Our Revolution Somerville (ORS). I do this in solidarity with the candidates of color who received unfair treatment and outright exclusion at recent candidates forums.

I helped form Our Revolution in Somerville. I took great pride in encouraging a new generation of Somerville residents to focus locally on economic inequality and social justice. The landslide ORS victory in 2017 was one of the greatest moments in my life. I’m still immensely proud of all we accomplished and still consider many ORS members friends and comrades. However I find the treatment of first time candidates of color at the recent forums to be unacceptable.
