We are a group of concerned residents from Quincy, MA, committed to holding our local government accountable by leveraging the power of our votes.
Astonishing – our mayor and city councilors voted themselves huge raises, with NO public input! 79% for the Mayor and 50% for the city councilors. They think we will forget about it. Those types of raises are difficult to forget. Join our campaign to rescind the raises and hold public meetings, or watch this site and social media for upcoming activities!
The format of the rally is to be announced.
It is hosted by WeVoters alone or co-hosted with AJustQuincy.
Halloween Gathering! We will dress up ourselves and our pets, carry signs demanding Accountability and Transparency from our local government, and of course, Rescind the Raises! We will have prizes for best costumes - one for a human and one for a pet. And the grand prize will go to Best Sign!
Time and location is to be announced, hosted by WeVoters.
Tomorrow, 9/16, the city council will meet—but they’re still not discussing the raises issue (see the attached agenda). This is the last meeting in September, and the next one isn’t until October 7th. We don’t want to wait that long to take action, so here’s the plan for tomorrow. It’s super short notice, but we’re ready to act!
Please bring your beach or folding chairs and your signs to City Hall Plaza tomorrow, 9/16, at 6 p.m. We’ll sit in a circle in the middle of the plaza, hold our signs, and discuss strategies and next steps. We’re combining a protest and a meeting—two birds, one stone! We want as many people as possible to contribute their ideas, talents, and energy. We respect everyone’s opinions and make collective decisions.
Afterward, we’ll go inside for about 10-15 minutes to hold signs in the council chambers. If this format works well, we’ll plan another sit-in/sit-out protest on October 15, again with a meeting. City Hall Plaza is our meeting space, with fresh air and open skies! And the City Hall council chambers is where we’ll continue to make our stand.
Please join us for our first sit-in/sit-out protest tomorrow! If you can’t bring a chair, we’ll have extra. Most importantly, bring your signs! If needed, you can make your signs there, just like at last week’s rally on 9/9—we’ll have supplies.
See you there, the weather is going to be great!
