As Boston enters a history-making election year with a very diverse pool of mayoral candidates, we sit down with Eleni Macrakis, a co-author of the recent "people's guide" to the city <https://encuentro5.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=53fe7b10944568ab8724330ae&id=296c55e603&e=197ff7c2ec>, for a long view on the city and region.

In so doing, this one-of-a-kind guide points the way to a radically democratic Greater Boston, one that sparks social and environmental justice and inclusivity for all *JOIN ON ZOOM* <https://encuentro5.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=53fe7b10944568ab8724330ae&id=b2924b5ed4&e=197ff7c2ec> click here <https://encuentro5.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=53fe7b10944568ab8724330ae&id=e5deaabda2&e=197ff7c2ec> *RALLY IN SUPPORT OF INDIAN FARMERS & THE RIGHT TO DISSENT* *SATURDAY, 6/26. 6:00 P.M.
