The work of Progressive Mass chapters in Boston was highlighted in the Bay State Banner article by Yawu Miller, “Mayoral race will take place in a changed city.”
While activists have for decades been organizing to increase turnout in the city’s Black, Latino and Asian communities, in recent years chapters of Progressive Massachusetts in Jamaica Plain, Downtown Boston, West Roxbury and Roslindale have been doing the same. During the 2018 electoral year, the groups rallied behind Rollins and Pressley, likely helping to drive turnout in their areas.
